YOUNGSVILLE — As the final season in program history winds down, Youngsville was running out of time to win once more on its home court.

Mission accomplished.

Riley Robinault scored 16 points, the Eagles put up a first-half defensive shutout and Youngsville earned a 22-13 victory over the Forest Area Fires on Senior Night on Wednesday at Youngsville High School.

“I’m just extremely proud of the girls,” said Youngsville coach Morgan Cook-Haibach. “They played like a team tonight. Everybody had a hand in this win. Winning on Senior Night is the icing on the cake. You can’t get much better than that.”

Senior Kennedy Allen — one of the two Youngsville seniors honored Wednesday along with Cassidy Britton — scored the game’s first bucket just over a minute into the game and the Eagles never trailed.

Robinault scored 11 of her game-high 16 points in the first half as the Eagles built a 15-0 lead, keeping the Fires off the scoreboard until the 6:54 mark of the third quarter.

Forest Area ripped off seven straight points of its own, cutting the lead to 17-7 with 2:11 left in the third. That’s when freshman Kaylee Lauffenburger squared up and found a cutting Natalie Ross who scored the hoop and drew the harm as the Eagles squashed Forest’s attempt at a rally.

Youngsville (2-16) returns to action on Thursday when it visits Maplewood before closing the season’s road schedule Saturday with an away tilt at Forest Area.
