Swarthmore' s Ceylan Bodur Scores 1,000th Point After Career-Ending Knee Injury

In a touching display of sportsmanship from both teams during the Swarthmore women's basketball annual Pink Zone game to promote breast cancer awareness, senior Ceylan Bodur scored an uncontested lay-up following the tip-off to become just the eighth player in program history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Bodur entered the game with 999 career points. She suffered a career-ending knee injury on January 29 in a victory over Gettysburg.

Following Bodur's layup, Bryn Mawr's Callie Jensen followed with an uncontested lay-up to make the score 2-2 with 19:43 on the clock. Swarthmore then proceeded to call a timeout, subbing out its four senior starters, who walked hand-in-hand with Bodur off the court.
