Blissett was called into the Young Matildas squad which qualified for the AFC under-19 Women's Championship in Thailand.
The Albury export lined up at centre back and scored twice as the side recorded victories against Nepal (11-1), Myanmar (3-1) and Uzbekistan (4-1).

"It was a really hard game (against Myanmar), they were very physical and very quick, but we were able to beat them 3-1 and I scored a free kick," Blissett said.
"That was my first international goal, which was really exciting."
Blissett knows she's no certainty to make the squad for Thailand, but couldn't have asked for a better start in green and gold.
"It will be a good challenge, but gaining my first international experience was really exciting and I'm really determined to make the next team," she added.
