In a recent release from the university, Abrahamson-Henderson said that she is thrilled to welcome Lewis to the Georgia family.

"Lish is a high IQ combo guard who led our team at UCF in both assists and steals. She can score in multiple ways and defend at a high level. I have enjoyed being a part of her development over the last two years, and I am excited she is a Georgia Bulldog," Abrahamson-Henderson said in the release.

According to the release, the 5-foot-7 guard will be a senior this upcoming season and has two years of eligibility remaining. 

At UCF, Lewis was tabbed the 2021 American Newcomer of the Year and Sixth Player of the Year after averaging 9.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, the release states. 

As a sophomore, Lewis led the team with 111 total assists (3.7 per game) and 79 steals (2.6 per game), along with hitting a team-best 42 percent from 3-point range (44-of-105) and setting a school and conference record with 10 steals in a game against Houston.
