Groundsmen at the Dub were busy marking the snow-covered pitch with shovels minutes before throw-in, and the visitors started strongly with an early goal from Evan Regan before taking a 1-2 to 0-4 lead into the half-time break.
Queen’s dragged themselves back into the tie in the second half and the teams were level 0-7 to 1-4 heading into extra-time. Ryan Murray then missed penalty for the home side and Sligo sealed a four-point victory. They face UCC at the quarter-final stage.
