Forward Ryoko Yano scored a game-high 21 points Wednesday as the Japan Energy Sunflowers sealed their first Japan Basketball League crown in 11 seasons with a 95-78 win over the Chanson V-Magic in Game 4 of the championship series at Yoyogi National Gymnasium Annex in Tokyo.

It was the Sunflowers' seventh JBL women's title and a double this season, following their national championship title. Center Noriko Hamaguchi, who had 16 points on the night, was named MVP for the 2000-01 season, which saw Chanson's streak of 10 consecutive JBL titles snapped.
