South led 4-0 at halftime and stayed in command in the second half.<\/p>\n
Seeded 24th in the 5A West bracket, East Burke (5-13-1) has only scored 14 goals all season and didn\u2019t have much hope against the ninth-seeded Raiders, who have scored more than 100 goals.<\/p>\n
South (15-6-1) got two goals each from Avery Rawlings and Anabelle Chavis, while Cailynn Withers had one.<\/p>\n
Sophie Steedley, Ella Morgan and Withers had assists.<\/p>\n

South will play in the second round at eighth-seeded Lake Norman Charter (12-4-3) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Lincoln Charter finished seventh in an eight-team league, but it\u2019s a strong league that includes teams such as Pine Lake Prep, Lake Norman Charter and Community School of Davidson.<\/p>\n
