Molly Lewis (born 28 October 1989)[1] is a basketball player from Australia. She has played for the Australian Institute of Sport, Sydney Uni Flames and Canberra Capitals in Australia's WNBL.

Personal

Lewis is originally from Tasmania.[2] She is 183 centimetres (72 in) tall.[1] She did not play basketball during the 2010/2011 season because she felt like it was an obligation.[3][4] She has a brother and a sister. While playing for Sydney, she attended the Australian College of Physical Education and studied physical education.[5]

Basketball

Juniors

Lewis played her junior basketball in Tasmania[2] and New South Wales.[5]

Australian Institute of Sport

In 2005, Lewis was playing for the Australian Institute of Sport's WNBL team.[6] She played in a preseason game for the team against the Canberra Capitals.[6] She also played for the team during the 2006/2007 season.[5]

Sydney Uni Flames

Lewis played for the Sydney Uni Flames for three seasons.[2][3] She first joined the team for the 2007/2008 season.[5]

Canberra Capitals

For the Capitals, Lewis wears number 9 and plays forward.[1] She signed a one-year contract with the Capitals to play for them during the 2011/2012 season.[7] She got the contract because Alison Lacey decided to not play basketball for the Capitals during the season.[3] Michelle Cosier's pre-season injury was an opportunity for the Capitals to get a better look at Lewis.[4][8] She played in a pre-season game against the Sydney Uni Flames that Canberra lost. This was the first real opportunity the team's coaches had to see her play with the team.[9] In an October 2011 game for the Capitals, she scored 11 points against the Rangers.[10] In a December 2011 game against the Bulleen Boomers, she fouled out.[11]

SEABL

Lewis played for a Launceston Tornadoes team in the SEABL with Capitals teammate Nicole Hunt in 2011. Carrie Graf saw this as an opportunity for her to grow as a player.[12]

National team

Lewis was a member of the Australian junior national team in 2007 and played in the World Championships.[2] She played 17 total games for the junior national team.[5]

Lewis currently plays for Adelaide Lightning.[13]
