The youngster, 21, bagged his first goal since August 2025 to secure back-to-back league wins for the first time since January for the Grecians.
George Lloyd's celebrations were cut short by the linesman's flag when he had his effort ruled out for offside on the half-hour for the hosts.
Visiting goalkeeper Jack Bycroft then pulled off a super save to tip Josh Ruffels' strike over the crossbar.
