She hit .396 which was second on the team, ripping 14 doubles, three triples, and seven home runs, all of which were second on the team as well. She started all 58 games for Seward as a sophomore, putting together 23 multi-hit games. She had three, four hit games this season, including a 4-4 performance early in the year against Northeastern in which she drove in a career high seven for the Lady Saints.

Putting together a big sophomore year of her own, Brunson was also named a 1st Team All-Jayhawk West performer this season. Brunson hit .389 while leading Seward with 32 stolen bases this season. Hitting out of the leadoff spot for Seward, she finished second on the team with 46 runs scored and also drove in 20. Brunson had 20 multi-hit games in her 49 played in 2016 and had a season high 12 game hit streak late in the year.
