As a freshman, Mewis started in 23 games and recorded 5 goals and 6 assists. As a sophomore, Mewis recorded points in 11 straight games, a program record that still holds. She continued to be a starter throughout her time at BC and as a senior recorded 21 points, the second most in program history for a single season.

Mewis is second in program history in career points (116), third in program history with 89 career goals, and second in program history with 38 career assists). She had 3 multi-goal games as an Eagle, including a hat trick against Harvard
