Shepparton United controlled the play in the first 30 minutes and should have went 2-0 ahead, but an open shot at goal hit the crossbar.
With key midfielder Keegan Smyth suspended, Eaglehawk lacked creativity in the middle of the park and potency up front.

United midfielder Roven Shaholli won the Tony Longano Medal for best player on the pitch.
Shepparton United also won the women's grand final.
After a tight first half, United broke the game open 20 minutes into the second half when Caitlin Georgiou found the back of the net.
United went on to win 3-0 to claim the championship-premiership double for the second consecutive season.
Epsom's youth squad was the only Bendigo-based team to taste premiership success.
The Scorpions also completed the championship-double for the second-straight year.
The young Scorpions went into the grand final against Shepparton South having not lost a game for the season.
Hser Ka Bru Htoo opened the scoring for Epsom in the first half before Cooper Arkinstall sealed the deal in the second half.
