Alexander G. Hewit (born November 8, 1985) is a retired
Background
Hewit is the son of Russell and Nan Hewit, and his siblings are Grant, Meghan and Rusty.[1] Born November 8, 1985, and raised in Chatham, New Jersey, Hewit began playing lacrosse as a youth. Both of his older brothers played and introduced him to the sport. Hewit started playing lacrosse in fourth grade in a local recreational league in his hometown. By sixth grade he was converted from an attackman to a goalie, but not until the coaches convinced his mother's that her concern for her son's safety were unwarranted.[2] He met his middle school, high school and college teammate Dan Cocoziello taking an entrance exam for the Delbarton School in sixth grade.[3] On the seventh and eighth grade team and the freshman team at the Delbarton School he also played goalie.[2] In eighth grade, he made a New Jersey state eighth-grade all-star team along with Cocoziello that competed against all-stars from other states.[3] He made the varsity team as a sophomore and helped lead the team to a cumulative 63–4 record and three high school lacrosse state championships. He was an all-state and all-conference goalie who made the headmaster's list as a student.[1] According to Inside Lacrosse, he was the fifth-best high school lacrosse recruit in the nation in 2003.[4] Since his older brother Grant was at Princeton, the college was on his short list along with Johns Hopkins, Duke, Harvard and Dartmouth.[2] Grant later became captain of the 2006 Tigers lacrosse team.[1]
College career
Hewit played in six games for Princeton and started three as a freshman in 2005.[1] He became the starting goalie late in his freshman year.[3] He was first team USILA All-American Team selection in 2006, a second team selection in 2007 and an honorable mention selection in 2008.[5][6][7] He was a 2006, 2007 & 2008 second team All-Ivy League selection.[8][9][10]
Hewit was a mild-mannered goalie who never celebrated after making saves.
