Elliott was a key contributor to Duquesne's third-place finish at the UMES Hawk Invitational, which welcomed 15 top-25 programs to Millsboro, DE. Starting all 13 matches, the first-year Duke averaged 20.01 pins per frame. She struck on 47.1 percent of her attempts (64-of-136) while averaging 9.08 pins per first ball. 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. Elliott's 19.95 baker frame average helped Duquesne to a 3-0 record during Sunday's best-of-7 match format. All three wins came against nationally-ranked opponents, including No. 1 Vanderbilt and event host UMES.
