A Division-III basketball player who suffered a career-ending knee injury last month scored her 1,000th career point on an uncontested layup.

Swarthmore's Ceylan Bodur was allowed to score the first basket of Wednesday night's game against Bryn Mawr.

Bodur, a senior from Istanbul, was hurt Jan. 29 stuck on 999 career points. She had scored the first four points of the game before she was hurt midway through the first half.

Swarthmore asked Bryn Mawr for permission for Bodur to become the eighth player in school history to score 1,000 points.

Bryn Mawr scored its own uncontested layup and the game resumed from there. Swarthmore won 74-43.
