The hosts started strongly with Danny Whitehall seeing a 10th-minute shot blocked on the line and Andrew Boyce heading straight at goalkeeper Luke Hutchinson, and the visitors needed the help of the upright to deny Joe Rowley.
However, it was Altrincham who took the lead five minutes before the break when, after Tom Crawford had slipped the ball into Sam Reed’s run, he crossed for Lucas Weaver to fire past Louis Jones.
