Bradshaw (Marietta, Ga. - Lassiter) had a breakout season on the attack, leading the team in goals per game (2.46) and points per game (3.38), while finishing third in the Centennial in both categories.Bradshaw's 32 goals for the 2010 season ranks ninth all-time for a single season in the 100-plus year history of Garnet men's lacrosse. He scored a career-high five goals, including the game winner with 3:33 left to play in a victory over Christopher Newport, while recording the 100th point of his career in a win over Drew.
Wilson (Great Falls, Va./Langley), one of the top longsticks in the Centennial, makes the second team for a second consecutive season. The senior led the Garnet in ground balls (50) and caused turnovers (14) for the 2010 season. Wilson is also one of just five student-athletes to be named to the All-Centennial Conference men's lacrosse team as well as the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll.
