Senior midfielder Sam Bradman of the No. 1 Salisbury University men's lacrosse team was named a nominee for the 2012 Tewaaraton Award. The list of 25 finalists, for both men's and women's NCAA lacrosse, was announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation on Wednesday.

The list of 50 student-athletes will be narrowed down to 10 (five men and five women) finalists for the 12th annual award on May 31 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. The Tewaarton Award is presented each May to the nation's top male and female collegiate lacrosse players by the Greater Washington Sports Alliance.

Bradman is the only Division III representative on this year's Top 25 list.

The Canton, N.Y., native is currently third on the Sea Gulls with 53 goals, 23 assists and 76 points. Over his four-year career, he has amassed 183 goals, 98 assists and 281 points which ranks him in the top 10 of Salisbury's all-time career lists for all three categories at No. 4 for goals, No. 7 for assists and No. 5 for points.
