Mike Way, a professional coach for more than 25 years and one of the best teachers of the game in the world, was hired as Harvard's Gregory Lee ’87 and Russell Ball ’88 Endowed Coach for Squash at Harvard University on Aug. 9, 2010.

After four successful years, Harvard squash continued to thrive in the fifth year of coach Way's tenure. Coach Way lead the women's program to a 13-1 season and its third national title in four years, taking down rival Trinity, 7-2, in front of a home crowd on the Barnaby Courts. The men's team finished the season 10-4, going a perfect 7-0 in Ancient Eight play to bring home the teams third-consecutive Ivy League Championship and a third place finish at the team national championships. 

The individual success also continued for those under Way's tutelage as Amanda Sobhy recorded her fourth-straight undefeated season. The senior topped Trinity's Kanzy El-Defrawy, 3-1, bring the Ramsay Cup back to Cambridge and earn her fourth-straight Ivy League Player of the Year honor. Sobhy finished her career a perfect 62-0 and became only the second player in history to win four-straight individual championships.

In coach Way's fourth season, with both teams going undefeated in regular season play and capturing Ivy League titles. The women's side took down Dartmouth and Yale on its way to its second-consecutive meeting with Trinity with the Howe Cup on the line. Unfortunately, the Crimson fell, 5-4, ending a perfect season. The men's side took a 13-0 record into the national championship and would go on to sweep Trinity, 9-0, to capture the programs first national title since 1998. 

Coach Way lead the men and women to a pair of titles in his third year at the helm. Way guided the women to their second straight Howe Cup, knocking off Stanford (9-0), Penn (6-3) and Trinity (5-4) en route to a 15-1 overall mark. On the men's side, the Crimson earned a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 2006 with a dramatic win over Yale on the last day of the regular season. The men went on to place second at the national championship, falling just short in the title bout to Trinity, to record its highest finish since 2004-05.

In just his second season in Cambridge, Way earned his first national title as he led the women's team to an undefeated season (17-0). The Crimson rolled to the Howe Cup championship match with 9-0 sweeps over No. 8 Dartmouth and No. 5 Trinity before beating rival Yale, 8-1, for the title. The men's team also had one of its highest finishes in recent years as the Crimson earned third place at the CSA National Team Championship.
