Outlook for 2003: Along with teammate Karla Johnson and redshirt freshman Frannie Savage, the Hurricanes’ coaching staff will look to Robin Lewullis to take on a more active role in the offense this season…Lewullis led the team in blocks, but Miami will need her to have a higher impact getting kills this season as well…last season, Lewullis numbered among the most athletic middles in the BIG EAST and should continue to develop along the same lines in 2003…“Robin’s biggest strength is her blocking ability,” UM head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said. “She just really came on at the end of the season and was a wall for us. I think that if we can add a little bit of offensive punch to her game, she’s going to be an exceptional middle blocker.”
2002 (Freshman): Lewullis was among the more underrated players for the Hurricanes during the NCAA Tournament…in matches against Duke and Wisconsin, had a combined 14 total blocks…led UM along the net with 1.29 blocks per game (fourth in the BIG EAST) and averaged 1.66 kills per game…totaled a career-high 11 blocks against Boston College…had two 10-kill games, once in a five-game loss to Florida International and in a five-game loss to Pittsburgh…had two nine-block performances: in a 3-0 rout of Providence and in a five-game loss to Florida International…received the 2002 Unsung Hero Award at the Hurricanes’ Volleyball Awards Banquet.
High School (Central Catholic): An exceptional athlete in high school who lettered for four years in volleyball and three in basketball…with Lewullis on the roster, Allentown Central Catholic won the East Penn Conference Championships each of her four years…guided the Vikettes to the District XI Championship title in 2002…led the team to the Pennsylvania State Championship title during her senior season…team captain during her senior year when she garnered a number of honors including being selected to East Penn Conference All-Star First Team, first-team All-State, and District XI Most Valuable Player...averaged 11.6 kills and five blocks per game…led the team to a 23-1 overall record and 8-0 conference mark…as a junior, was named to the East Penn Conference All-Star Second Team and earned District XI All-Star Second Team honors…also earned All-State Honorable Mention having recorded 8.5 kills and 4.5 blocks per game…the Vikettes finished 19-3 overall and 7-1 in conference play…the team was District XI runner-up in 1998-99 during her junior season.
Club: Synergy…18’s competed at Earlybird Extravaganza Champions and finished eighth in Las Vegas Tournament…17’s competed in Earlybird Extravaganza, Las Vegas Tournament, Davis Festival, NEQ, and Spri events.
Personal: Born June 8, 1984…the daughter of Ronald and Regina Lewuillis…has one sister, Natalie (28) and a brother, Gabe (25)…her brother, Gabe, was a member of Princeton basketball team (1995-99) and he scored the game-winning shot in a 1996 NCAA Tournament game to defeat UCLA…majoring in health science...she attended the same high school as Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey.
