Bunton reaches 10 goals as SMU closes season with 2–2 draw

Brooke Bunton reached double figures in goals, but SMU could not turn either of its leads into a victory in its women’s soccer finale. The Mustangs and Pitt drew 2–2 Thursday, Nov. 5, at Washburne Stadium in Dallas.

SMU finished 6–7–5 overall and 1–6–3 in the ACC. The result brought a mixed conclusion: another productive attacking night, and another game in which the Mustangs were unable to keep an advantage.

Two leads, two answers

Julianne Richter opened the scoring at 10:11, with Bunton and Libby Jannereth credited with assists. Pitt equalized at 22:19, leaving the teams level at halftime.

Bunton restored SMU’s lead at 63:21 with her 10th goal of the season. Lola Abraham answered at 74:31, and neither team found a winner.

SMU finished with 14 shots to Pitt’s 13 and a 4–2 edge in shots on goal. Pitt had nine corner kicks to the Mustangs’ six.

Production to build on

Bunton ended the season with 22 points, including two assists. Richter contributed three goals and six assists. Their finale helped bring SMU to 34 goals and 31 assists for the year, both the program’s best totals since 2019, according to the school.

At Washburne, the Mustangs finished 5–2–5 and outscored visitors 24–15. Those numbers capture both the home-field scoring strength and the number of tight games that ended without a winner.
