Upper Montclair, NJ (11/15/03) - Richard Stockton College, seeded second in the 2003 Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Metro Tournament, won its second straight ECAC title and fourth overall by defeating top-seeded Montclair State today at Sprague Field.

The game was tied,1 -1, after 110 minutes of play and is officially recorded as a tie, although Stockton claimed the championship by winning on penalty kicks, 4-2.
