Andover-Exeter
2015
It was the handshake heard round the world—or round the two rival campuses, at any rate. When PA Head of School John Palfrey (PEA ’90) met PEA Principal Lisa MacFarlane ’75 for a halftime midfield handshake during the Andover-Exeter football game at Exeter on November 14, it was a strong visual reminder of the schools’ historic connections. But traditionalists need not fear: The competition between Andover and Exeter remains strong. For the second straight year, Andover limited Exeter to just one win out of the five contests played during the fall. Here’s a recap: • Field Hockey, W 1–0 • Boys’ Soccer, W 3–2 • Football, W 29–14 • Girls’ Soccer, T 2–2 • Girls’ Volleyball, L 1–3
