Albert Adomah's audacious free-kick and a superb display by keeper Jake Cole earned Barnet victory at Torquay.
Adomah struck in the 27th minute, curling in a free-kick from wide out on the left following a foul by Chris Todd on Albert Jarrett.
Cole kept out winger Mustapha Carayol's shot and made a spectacular stop from Nicky Wroe's goal-bound effort.
The Bees keeper then stopped Carayol's in his tracks before tipping Wroe's 83rd minute 25-yarder on to the post.
Torquay United manager Paul Buckle told BBC Devon:
"It was a tough game. It was ironic that it was a freak goal that separated the teams at half-time.
"The second-half, there was only one team in it. We pushed forward and played some great football, but the goal just wouldn't come."
Barnet boss Ian Hendon told BBC London 94.9:
"It was one of those where we had to dig in. Fair play to Torquay. We knew they were going to throw everything at us in the second half and they didn't disappoint.
"We've held out and obviously I'm delighted. On another day it could've been just a point but I'm more than delighted to be leaving here with three points."
