With the sides level at 0-9 to 1-6 as the game ticked into injury time, Donnelly’s 61st-minute goal looked to have secured the points for Conor Deegan’s men.
But from the kickout, DCU marched straight back down the pitch and Mathew Costello punched a dropping ball to the net for an unlikely equaliser.
There was still time for one last Queen’s attack, leaving Tyrone youngster Donnelly to tap over a free to get their campaign off to a winning start.
Elsewhere on the opening night of the competition, goals from Mayo’s Cian Hanley and Dublin’s Killian McGinnis proved decisive as TU Dublin beat University of Galway by a point, 2-8 to 1-10.
Meanwhile in Cork, Maynooth University fired 4-11 as they ran out eight-point winners against MTU Cork.
In Tuesday evening’s refixed Walsh Cup game, Derek Lyng’s Kilkenny got their year off to a blistering start with a five-star show against Carlow.
Goals from Billy Ryan, Liam Blanchfield, Eoin Guilfoyle, Ted Dunne and Denis Walsh helped the Cats cruise to a 28-point win, 5-22 to 0-9.
