History

John Conroy, who coached for three decades (1940-69), won 180 matches and the program's first Ivy League title in 1957, and he is also an inductee in the College Squash Hall of Fame.

Both a College Hall of Fame and US Squash Hall of Fame inductee, Bob Callahan, who retired following the 2013 Ivy League championship season, won the most matches (316) and Ivy League titles (11) in program history.

Princeton's most historic victory came in 2012 national team championship final over Trinity, in which the Tigers ended a sensational 13-year winning streak for Trinity. Princeton was down 4–2 in the match and rallied to win 5–4.
