Professional career

In the leadup to the first season of the National Women's Soccer League in 2013, Lewis trained with the team in preseason as an amateur. [4] On May 30, 2013, Portland Thorns FC, playing in the first season of the National Women's Soccer League, called up Lewis as an amateur player. [2] This was in response to missing all four of their allocated national team players, including starting goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc of the Canadian national team, to international duty. [2]

On June 1, 2013, Lewis debuted for the Thorns against the Chicago Red Stars, playing all 90 minutes in a 0–2 loss. [5] On June 16, Lewis was an unused substitute for a game Portland played against the Seattle Reign. [5] In 2014, when Portland was missing five players to international duty, they on June 12 added Lewis as one of four amateur players to shore up the roster leading up to their June 15 game against the Washington Spirit. [6] She did not make the gameday roster. [6] As a result, her 2013 appearance against the Chicago Red Stars is her only appearance to date as a professional.
