The loss ended Chaminade's season at 13-15 and 11-11 in the Pacific West Conference.

Cayden McDaniel led Jessup (15-13, 12-10 PacWest) with 22 points.
After a brief 5-2 lead, the game got away early as Chaminade went scoreless during a six-minute span where the Warriors scored 20 straight before Haddock's triple ended their drought.
Trailing by as many as 25, the Silverswords cut the deficit to 58-50 with 14 minutes left but the Warriors built their lead back to double digits and CUH never got closer than 11 the rest of the game.
Chaminade shot 43.9 percent in the finale, making 10 3-pointers, 12 free throws with 32 rebounds, 15 assists and 12 steals.
Jessup shot at a 53 percent clip with nine 3s, 14-of-23 free throws, 46 boards, 23 assists to 18 turnovers.
