A sports management major who graduated in May, Lewing led the 2003 Blue Hen squad to a third-place finish in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and a 10-6-3 overall record. Lewing earned honorable mention All-America East honors as a freshman when she scored two goals and dished out four assists during the 2000 season. A member of the America East All-Tournament team in 2001, Lewing recorded two goals and three assists. First-team honors came as a junior during the 2002 season, when she registered two goals and an assist, and she added a pair of goals during the 2003 season and was named to the All-CAA first team as well as UD Alumni Association Most Valuable Player. During her career at UD, Lewing scored eight goals and eight assists and had 53 shots on goal.
