From 2013 to 2017, she attended Adrian College, scoring 179 points in 113 NCAA Division III games with the Adrian Bulldogs.[1][2]
After graduating, she signed her first professional contract with the NWHL's Buffalo Beauts.[3] She scored seven points in fourteen games in her rookie professional season. She was named to Team Leveille at the 2018 NWHL All-Star Game, and won fastest skater at the Skills Competition.[4][5]
She left the Beauts to sign with the Metropolitan Riveters for the 2018–19 NWHL season, the first player from another team to join the Riveters that off-season.[6] Despite being the reigning Isobel Cup champions, the Riveters suffered a number of problems that year, including the worst opening season stretch in league history, and Lewicki's production dropped significantly, only scoring one goal in sixteen games.[7]
After the collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) in May 2019, she left the NWHL to join the newly formed Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA).[8] After spending most of the season with the organisation, she returned to the NWHL to re-join the Beauts, scoring six points in the last six games of the 2019–20 NWHL regular season.
She re-signed with the Beauts for the 2020–21 NWHL season.[9]
Lewicki is noted for her speed and acceleration. During the 2017–18 season, she was also relied on by the Beauts for her face-off skills, taking the third most face-offs on the team.[10]
Lewicki has a degree in criminal justice with a minor in sports management from Adrian College.[11]
