Hannibal’s goal midway through an otherwise uneventful first half saw United reach the break in front, but the Rams hit back with three goals in 17 second-half minutes.
And United were forced to negotiate the final 35 minutes with 10 men, after Hannibal was sent off for collecting two yellow cards.
Reds’ coach Neil Wood made four changes to the line-up which galloped to a 6-2 win away to the same opposition at Loughborough just seven days ago.
Goalkeeper Ondrej Mastny, the versatile Charlie Wellens, Norwegian youngster Isak Hansen and the under-18s’ top scorer Charlie McNeill were included in the starting XI in place of Matej Kovar, Ethan Galbraith, Omari Forson and Anthony Elanga.
