Stewart scored the Waratahs' opener in a 45-12 triumph over Queensland in the final at Coffs Harbour International Stadium on Saturday. The runaway on Saturday was her seven try for the campaign - touching down for at least one five-pointer in every game.
The 21-year-old has now crossed for 19 tries in just 12 games since making her Super W debut - a Waratahs record (male and female).
Stewart is in the Wallaroos squad but is yet to make her Test debut. A two-match series against Samoa, due to be played this month, has been postponed due to COVID.
Stewart was one of six Hunter players in the Waratahs squad. Kaitlan Leaney played every game in the second-row, Wildfires teammates Ash Walker played off the bench in the final while Sydney based trio Katrina Barker, Layne Morgan and Nicole Nathan also played key roles.
The Reds scored first in what was an otherwise one-sided final.
Fly-half Bella McKenzie was the star, crossing for a try and playing a hand in several others.
The title was the Waratahs fourth straight and they are yet to lose a game since the inception of the competition.
There were 20 players involved in the Super W representing the Hunter, from the Wildfires, Newcastle University several Sydney sides.
