Women's Squash Individual Champions
Five of the sport's most historic names have combined to help Princeton win 12 individual national championships in women's squash. The first Tiger champion, Wendy Zaharko, won three titles (1972, 1974, 1975); Demer Holleran matched that feat with three titles between 1986-88, and Julia Beaver won three straight titles between 1999-2001. Nancy Gengler (1976), Katherine Johnson (1997) and Zeina Zein (2025) give Princeton six champions combining for the total of 12 championships.
Princeton head coach Gail Ramsay was the first woman in women's college squash history to win four national championships in her collegiate career. She won the 1977-80 titles during her career at Penn State; that run included two titles over Princeton's Nancy Gengler.

The Holleran Cup, which goes to the champion of the B flight at the national championships, went to one winner from 2003-15. During that time, Kaitlin Sennatt won the title in 2007, while Katie Giovinazzo defeated teammate Alex Sawin to win the 2011 title. Since 2016, the Holleran Cup was split into four draws. In that time, Princeton has won three draw championships, with Kira Keating winning in 2018, Caroline Spahr winning in 2020, and Emma Trauber winning in 2024.
