TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State has added women's triathlon and women's lacrosse as varsity sports.
Both sports will begin during the 2017-18 school year.
The addition of two women's sports follows the upgrade to Division I men's hockey last year. Arizona State received a $32 million donation, largest in school history, to elevate the hockey team to Division I and sponsor additional women's programs to comply with Title IX.
The school also was one of 10 to receive a women's triathlon emerging sport grant from the USA Triathlon Foundation. The Sun Devils will be the first power-five conference to officially adopt triathlon as a sport.
