EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon head women's basketball coach Kelly Graves announced the addition of Hope Lewandoski as the program's coordinator of player engagement and operations on Monday. Additionally, Graves announced the elevation of Oti Gildon, Lisa O'Meara and Peyton Scott to assistant coaches.
"We are so excited to be adding Hope to our women's basketball staff," Graves said. "Hope is a dynamic personality who brings a contagious energy everywhere she goes. Her background in college athletics, as both a student-athlete and a professional, is impressive and she will be a tremendous fit with our staff and players."
Lewandoski comes to Eugene after spending three seasons as the director of basketball operations at Loyola Maryland. Prior to her stint with the Greyhounds, Lewandoski served as an administrative assistant at George Washington while also completing The Foundation of Spors Sales Academy with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Lewandoski enjoyed a decorated soccer career at Maryland, where she was a two-time co-captain for the Terrapins while earning Big Ten all-academic and Distinguished Scholar accolades.

Kehoe Award, which is given to the Maryland female student-athlete who most exemplifies the ideals of sportsmanship.
She competed for the Terps from 2017-21, appearing in 80 matches while making 53 starts. A midfielder, she tallied six career goals to go with four assists. Lewandoski earned her bachelor's degree from Maryland in kinesiology and later graduated from the university's Robert H. Smith School of Business with her master's in business and management.
