None of the Rowan teams in the South Piedmont Conference are assured of making the 3A state playoffs.

South Rowan (8-5, 7-4 and 31st in the 3A West RPI rankings) and West Rowan (5-8, 4-7 and 37th) have the best chance, so their meeting on Tuesday will be a big one.

Carson (1-12-1, 1-9) got its first win of the season on Friday by beating Concord 1-0 and takes on East Rowan (6-11, 3-7) on Tuesday.

South Rowan lost 10-1 on Friday to Northwest Cabarrus, as Megan Story scored four goals for the Trojans.

Seven different girls scored for Lake Norman Charter in Friday’s 9-0 win against West Rowan. It was 6-0 at halftime.

Central Cabarrus scored nine goals by halftime to wrap up an early win against East Rowan. Scarlett Davis had a hat trick for the Vikings. Piper Moretz had to make three saves for the shutout.
