Cyle Larin struck early before Shea Charles launched a shot into the net from range to secure the three points for his side.
Eckert said that after a congested schedule he is looking forward to the international break.
"We've had a couple of very tough away games and we knew that these two games at home now gave us a chance to finish off not just this week but a block of four months," Eckert told BBC Radio Solent.
"We've been going straight since November and we just knew that we wanted to finish strong on that block.
"It was a big one for us today going two up, but then you need to keep the attention high because you're still on the ball.
"It's never so easy if the rhythm of the game then slows down, but obviously then the spaces are up on a counter and you need to be ready to defend them.
"I think we've done this quite well over big spells, obviously there's always a couple of moments that we can improve on, but overall yes it's another clean sheet and I'm so happy about today and ready for a couple of days off."
