Vannatta's 17 leads UNC-Asheville past Elon 78-67

The Bulldogs (6-3) forced 15 Elon turnovers with 11 steals, including four by Thomas, who has scored in double figures in all nine games this season.

Vannatta made back-to-back scores — a jumper and a three-point play — pushing the lead back to seven a little more than a minute later.
