While the men’s side benefited from a forfeit by opponents La Trobe, the women’s side got the job done on the pitch, challenging Epsom.
At home at Jack Eddy Oval on Sunday, Asha Davies struck truly to have Echuca-Moama in front within 11 minutes.
Neither side could find its way to goal for the rest of the half, and the Border Raiders consequently took a nervous one-goal lead into the sheds.
Epsom held firm for another 10 minutes after the break before the floodgates opened, Echuca-Moama slotting four more goals within a 26-minute flurry.
Coach Paige Pinson started the run with a goal in the 57th minute, and Jessica Pemberton would follow just two minutes later to give the Border Raiders complete control.
Roche Du Toit would make it four 20 minutes from time, and Davies capped off the 5-0 performance with her second of the game.
The Border Raiders trail league leader Swan Hill by just two points after posting a 4-1-1 record over the opening six rounds.
The women’s side now has a fortnight off, serving its own bye before a general bye over the King’s Birthday weekend.
The Border Raiders will be back in action on June 13, at Jack Eddy Oval against Spring Gully.
The men’s side, just one point off the top, is set for home action this Saturday, hosting Castlemaine Goldfields Gold.
