CDO grad Bonstrom heads to West Point for good reason 

CDO grad Kayla Bonstrom, a first-team All-Pac-12 softball player at Stanford in 2013 and 2015, took a .315 batting average into this weekend’s series against UCLA. She missed a rare game last week, against Pacific, but for a remarkable reason. She flew to West Point to present her senior thesis on counterterrorism to cadets at Army. Bonstrom will play her final collegiate series against Arizona next weekend at Stanford.
