Three times during coach Bryan Iocovelli’s 18-year tenure Rye Neck has made the state regional final in boys soccer and three times it has lost. But if the Panthers play in the regional final like they did on Wednesday, Nov. 6’s state Class B semifinal at Yorktown High against previously undefeated Mount Academy, Iacovelli's squad may well find itself on the road to the state final four. After dominating the first half but being denied by Eagle keeper Nolan Clement, whose seven opening-half saves included several diving stops, the Panthers exploded for four second-half goals en route to a 4-0 win.
