Micheal Donoghue’s charges led by 0-18 to 0-8 at the break as Monaghan, Molloy, and Glennon combined to score 11 points between them.
Ahead by 0-10 to 0-6 after 23 minutes Galway then struck eight points on the spin courtesy of Glennon, Jason Flynn (4), Monaghan (2), and Jack Grealish.
It was a similarly story after the restart with promising Galway midfielder Dan Nevin drilling two splendid points in the third quarter.
Cian O'Donoghue registered six points for DIT, who conceded a fortuitous goal in the 63rd minute when a long range Joseph Cooney effort crept over the line.
