Pa. Boys: Northeast upends Bartram in soccer

Northeast did what five other soccer teams had been unable to do, but it came at a cost in a Public League game yesterday.

The Vikings got a hat trick from Muhamad Muhamadein and beat visiting Bartram, 5-2, to hand the Maroon Wave their first loss of the season.

G.G. Gallegos added a goal and an assist, and Jose Rosario chipped in with a goal for the Vikings (6-2), who took a 3-1 lead in the first half over Bartram (5-1).

However, Northeast goalie Tim Freiling got hit in both knees and was taken to an area hospital to be evaluated after stopping 10 shots. Freiling is also the placekicker on the Northeast football team.
