Aaron Ellingson rushed for a career-high 224 yards on 27 carries with three touchdowns to lead the Royals to a 31-7 win over Gustavus in the MIAC Championship game. His first touchdown of the day came on a 4th-and-10 on BU's own 24-yard line where a fake punt led to a 76-yard score on the Royals' opening drive. Ellingson made it 17-0 just before the end of the first quarter with a 17-yard touchdown run before adding a third trip to the end zone with a 14-yard scamper up the middle for BU's final score of the game.
