Elliott accounted for an .868 filled frame rate that included a pair of split conversions. She hit the 210-pin mark in three straight traditional team matches against Top-15 opponents on Saturday. Elliott fired a 211 game against No. 1 Vanderbilt before unleashing a weekend-high 257-pin effort against No. 6 Arkansas State.
