Naples tamed Vicenza’s high-scoring Chakeira Gilbert and swept the Lady Cougars to wrap up the American Schools in Italy League title.

Naples’ Nyrika Davis outscored Gilbert 25-22 in Friday’s 55-39 nonconference victory, then came back to double Gilbert’s point total, 26-13, in Saturday's 47-23 conference victory that clinched the crown.

Davis added four rebounds, two assists and two steals to her scoreline on Saturday as unbeaten Naples (13-0, 6-0) handed visiting Vicenza its first ASIL defeat of the season. Naples’ Milena Maksimova contributed 12 rebounds and two steals Saturday.

Naples has a conference game remaining Saturday at Sigonella, but even a Sigonella upset and a Vicenza victory against Aviano won’t be enough to deny Naples. Both teams would finish the conference season 6-1, with Naples holding the head-to-head edge.
