Steward became John Carroll's first Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the year when he was bestowed the honor in 2009.

As the #1 player for the Blue Streaks that year, Stewart compiled a 15-5 record overall that season, including a perfect 8-0 mark in regular season conference matches. With four different doubles partners, he forged a 12-8 record in doubles play (7-1 in the OAC) splitting time between the #1 and #2 spots in the line-up.

Steward , who earned All-OAC first team honors four times in his career, played primarily as the #1 singles player and as either a #1 or #2 doubles player.

Steward would win 106 matches as a Blue Streak, which was the second highest total in program history at the time of his graduation. He won 56 singles matches and 50 doubles matches.

Also an outstanding student, Steward was named ESPN Academic All-American first team as a senior, Academic All-OAC three times, and a Dean's List student all eight semesters. In 2009, Steward wart was selected as the JCU recipient of the Clyde A. Lamb Scholar Athlete – the highest honor awarded to a student-athlete by the Ohio Athletic Conference.
