Stewart, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, scored 14 consecutive points for Chaminade in the second half.

He scored the Eagles’ final basket in the third quarter to give them a 28-20 lead and followed that with 12 consecutive points to start the fourth quarter.

Many of Stewart’s points came off offensive rebounds.

Freshman Scott Borchart scored eight points for Chaminade and senior Scott Long had seven.
