The 18-year-old rising star scored the only Australian goal in her first match at international level to help the Hockeyroos earn a 1-1 draw against Germany at the TPG International Tri-Series in Singapore.
Stewart came on to score but her goal was later cancelled out by Germany’s Julia Muller.
Nevertheless, her display left a strong impression on head coach Adam Commens.
“We couldn’t ask for much more from Grace than what we saw,” he said.
She scored a goal and it was a wonderful start for her.
“She had lots of involvement in the game; she’s got the speed and physicality that we want from our forwards.”
Fellow South Coast product, Albion Park’s Casey Sablowski (nee Eastham) was a starter in the draw.
