The Athlone university would have hoped and expected to be closer last night.
DCU caught fire in the Sigerson Cup last night at the expense of TUS Midlands.
Impressive scoring efforts from Shane O’Donnell, Ryan Donohoe, and Longford's Joseph Hagan helped the Dublin University to a 0-22 to 0-8 victory.
DCU will now progress to the competition's quarter final to take on UL, while University of Galway are drawn to face UCD, it's Maynooth University against Queen's University, and TU Dublin will play Ulster University.
In the Fitzgibbon Cup, Offaly's James Mahon and Joseph Ryan, along with Laois hurlers Eoghan Cuddy and Colin Byrne were powerless to stop University Limerick beating TUS Midwest 2-30 to 1-14.
Two wins from two leaves UL top of their group and guaranteed a home quarter-final.
