The River Rats were up against Mooroopna, which entered the fixture with a perfect 9-0 record and had won the previous three meetings between the two sides by a combined score of 8-4.
Despite the odds being stacked against it, Echuca-Moama continued its best stretch of 2026 by holding the league leader to a 0-0 draw.
The River Rats are now undefeated in their past three matches and became the first side to take points off Mooroopna this season.
The women sit second on the ladder with a 5-2-3 record after 10 matches, likely where they will finish.
Four games remain in the regular season, with Echuca-Moama currently six points clear of third-placed Shepparton Strikers.
The River Rats take on Shepparton Youth Club in their next fixture at Shepparton Regional Hockey Complex.
In the juniors, Echuca-Moama under-16s had a tough outing, going down 14-0 to Goulburn Valley Grammar School, though there was better news in the under-13s as the River Rats defeated Shepparton Strikers Blue 2-1.
Elsewhere in hockey, the Castlemaine outfit made up of Echuca-Moama players in Hockey Central Victoria had another difficult day at the office.
The side was heavily beaten 7-0 by Strathdale Tigers, and now only has two matches left to secure a first win of the season.
Castlemaine will attempt to break that duck in its next fixture against Eaglehawk at Bendigo Hockey Centre on Sunday, August 16.
