Substitute Richard Brodie hit the woodwork with an ambitious effort which had Craig Ross well beaten after 53 minutes.
Moments later the Mariners had a goal disallowed for offside as Marcus Marshall wheeled away in celebration prematurely.
Derek Niven and Jamie Devitt linked brilliantly to carve out a superb opening for the visitors late on, but the latter's shot flashed just wide of the far post.

“Another useful point from Cambridge, who had been flying. Very close to 3 points with hitting the bar twice and a disallowed goal. (Would have been great for Marcus if it counted).
I think that no one in the top 9 has beaten Grimsby (except Dartford - which surely was an unexpected result). Compared with last year where we struggled to beat any of the top sides this has to be great progress.”
