At 5’11, Lewandowski can hold her own as a right side attacker and defender. Offensively, the way she can guide her arm creates opportunities for her to score as she can identify space and make the right adjustments to take the ball that direction. Her big double-arm lift gets her on balance in the air, which is a catalyst to the range she can develop. On the defensive side, she preps well and makes good moves with her footwork depending on the tempo and location of the set on the other side of the net.
