Napoli was a collegiate standout at Wheeling Jesuit University where she helped WJU to a pair of NCAA Division II Tournament appearances, three West Virginia Conference titles and a wealth of personal accolades. Her leadership abilities earned her team captain duties during her freshman year and she helped the captaincy throughout her collegiate career.
In her freshman season, Napoli helped lead her team to a conference regular season championship, a national tournament appearance and a No. 10 national ranking while earning All-Conference accolades. She followed that up with a second consecutive All-Conference showing as a sophomore.
In her junior season, she guided her team to a conference tournament championship, while also earning spots on the All-Conference and All-Region teams. Her 19 assists as a junior were enough to lead the nation in 2004. As a senior, she helped WJU capture its second straight conference tournament title along with its third national tournament appearance in four years. She was named All-Conference and All-Region for the second straight year.
Napoli earned her bachelor's degree in teacher preparation from Wheeling Jesuit in 2006 and her master's degree in reading specialist from Kutztown in 2009.
