CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard senior Amanda Sobhy has been named the Ivy League Player of the Year, as announced by the League office Thursday afternoon. Sobhy was also named to the 2015 All-Ivy team, along with sophomore Katherine Tutrone. Mike Way, the Gregory Lee '87 and Russell Ball '88 Endowed Coach for Squash at Harvard University was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year after leading the women's team to the 2015 Howe Cup Championship.

Sobhy's record-setting career was capped with her fourth-consecutive Ivy League Player of the Year award. She joins Princeton's Julia Beaver (1998-2001) as the only other player to earn the award in four-straight seasons. Sobhy also finishes her career with three team national championships, four individual national championships and a perfect 62-0 record.

Tutrone has been named to the All-Ivy team for a second-consecutive season after finishing the year 7-5. She finished with a 2-0 mark at the No. 1 position and earned five wins at the No. 2 position for the Crimson.

Way earns the Coach of the Year nod after the men's team won its 40th Ivy League title and the women's team took home its third national championship in four years. Since taking over the Harvard program, Way has complied a combined record of 140-22 with a 59-9 mark in the Ivy League. In his five seasons with the Crimson, he has coached three women's teams to national championships, a men's team to a national championship and two players that would win a combined seven individual national championships.
