Dariauna Lewis' debut season with the Alabama A&M women's basketball program was a success.
Just shy of averaging a double-double, Lewis emerged as one of the Southwestern Athletic Conference's elite post players.
Now Lewis can add All-American to her resume.
Lewis has been tabbed as a first-team HBCU All-American by BOXTOROW.
During her debut season, Lewis, a 6-foot-1 forward from Omaha, Neb., averaged 17.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game while helping Alabama A&M earn the No. 4 seed in the SWAC tournament — setting a new program with 17 Division I wins in the process.
Lewis led Alabama A&M in six major statistical categories: Scoring (17.5 ppg), rebounds (9.2 rpg), blocks (1.7 bpg), field-goals made (182), free-throws made (140) and free-throws attempted (211). The sophomore led the SWAC, and was third in the nation, with a 65.2 percent field-goal percentage.
Lewis also was a first-team all SWAC selection and the SWAC Newcomer of the Year.
