Accrington grew into the game but were thwarted by an in-form Morris.
Mark Bonner's side finally made their possession count on 49 minutes when a cross from Remeao Hutton went long and Little was at the back post to smash home an effort into the top corner.
Their lead was shortlived, however, with Woods' deflected effort finding a way past Morris on the hour mark. The Gills keeper was later replace due to injury.
John Doolan's men went forward late on and got their rewards when Costelloe's effort beat Luca Ashby-Hammond.
