Exeter ended Barnsley's 11-match unbeaten league run with a 2-1 away victory at Oakwell.
Jack Aitchison and Reece Cole both netted first-half goals for their side, while Mael de Givigney scored a late header for the Tykes.
Aitchison broke the deadlock in the 17th minute when the home defence failed to deal with a looping ball, allowing the former Barnsley man to control and finish from the right of the box.
Gary Caldwell's side doubled their lead in the 31st minute when Cole was afforded space on the edge of the box to curl left of Liam Roberts.
Barnsley should have halved the deficit in the 61st minute. Adam Phillips picked up the ball on the edge of the box and struck the crossbar with a thunderous effort.
