ASU Hockey: Sun Devils take down No. 4 Denver
Richard Martinez/House of Sparky Johnny on the spot As the final buzzer sounded at Oceanside Ice Arena on Friday night, there was a yell from the Sun Devil bench just before the team went off to congratulate sophomore goaltender Evan DeBrouwer. “It’s us against the world, boys,” one player exclaimed.

Although the program’s talent level has elevated, that demeanor was evident once more on...

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports A dub in the bay Arizona State (5-2) avoided a feverous upset attempt by San Francisco University (7-2) Tuesday, as they took down the Dons 71-67 in their final road game of non-conference play.

ASU Football: Sun Devils add Prentice Gill to coaching staff
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Making moves A day after Rob Likens, Donnie Yantis, and Charlie Fisher not being retained, Arizona State and head coach Herm Edwards made an addition to his offensive regime.
