The Reds had the better of the possession in the first half of this cup encounter, but neither side could produce a clear chance, leaving it to FCs captain Kirsty Chambers to get the opener soon after the restart.
A half chance for the skipper is all she needs, and as the ball wasn't cleared from a speculative dink forwards, Chambers pounced on the loose ball to put the reds in front.
Closely followed by a first goal for Robyn Hartley, as the winger found space on the left and found a spot just inside the corner of the nets to double the lead in this qualifing round of the FA cup.
With a quarter hour to go, Morecambe got the rewards for the pressure they'd applied to FC with a long-ranger from Robyn Hodkin.
But before the visitors could capitalise on their goal, Chambers had fired United back into a two-goal lead, with FCs best goal yet to come.
With yet another cup strike, Kate O'Gara smashed her effort in from 25 yards to seal a deserved cup victory.
