Denver Arriola sank two free throws with two seconds to play Friday night to give Naples a 68-67 home victory over Vicenza and get his Wildcats started on a weekend sweep that clinched the American Schools in Italy League crown.

Arriola, who had a team-high 19 points Friday, took team honors again in Saturday’s 57-43 victory. Saturday’s victory improved Naples’ conference record to 6-0, with one league game left. Vicenza, which hosts Aviano on the final weekend of the regular season on Friday and Saturday, dropped to 4-2 in league play.

With a Naples loss and Aviano victory on Saturday, the Saints would tie Naples at 6-1, but the Wildcats hold the head-to-head edge over Aviano by virtue of their 46-44 victory in Aviano.
