Early in the second quarter Arizona responded as Reggie Brown ran in from 10-yards out tying things at 7-7.
Late in the frame, Lewis found wideout Gerald Bradley on a slant pattern for a 16-yard score as Memphis led 14-7 at the half.
After a Tony Zendejas 33-yard field goal, Lewis scored on a two-yard keeper pushing Memphis out to a 20-10 lead with 5:39 remaining in the third.
Arizona closed to within three points on the next series on a one-yard scoring run by Kevin Long.
In the final quarter, Lewis led a long nine-play, 80 yard drive culminating with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Crawford giving the Showboats a 27-17 lead.
Tony Zendejas then rounded out the scoring with a late 41-yard field goal.
