Bunton set up teammate Jianna Ramirez for the go-ahead goal in the second half to take a 2-1 lead and added a goal of her own later in the half to put the game away for the Girls in Blue.

Lily Morse opened the scoring in the first half before the Dutch Lions equalized for a 1-1 scoreline at the half.

Bunton, a Clay High School grad, now heads off to international duty representing the U.S. Youth National Team at the U-17 level for a pair of matches against Japan in Kansas City.

Her Armada teammates will close out the 2025 regular season schedule Friday night at Nathaniel Glover Community Field and Stadium as they host Seminole Ice at 7 pm.
