Big Blue tops Exeter
Year 142 is another to remember in the rivalry’s rich historyby David Fricke
The Andover varsity soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and football teams traveled to Exeter to renew the country’s oldest prep school rivalry this past weekend. Accompanied by a large Big Blue fan base that outnumbered Big Red supporters in the stands, Andover secured victories in Football (14-13), girls’ soccer (1-0), and field hockey (3-0); boys’ soccer tied (1-1) while girls’ volleyball lost 0-3.
Go Big Blue!

The girls’ team finished in third place with Natalia Muromcew ’22 earning 4th place and an All-Star selection.
The boys’ squad raced to second place, anchored by Chris Ratcliffe ’20 (4th place) and Alex Fleury (7th), who both earned All-New England honors.
