On September 4, 2000, ASU entered the rankings for the first time in program history as the No. 19 team in the nation. The ranking came from a 4-0 victory over No. 21 Michigan at home.

Later that month, the Sun Devils went on to set a program record for goals in a game in their 7-0 defeat of Pittsburgh and then tied their scoring record with another 7-0 defeat, this time against Eastern Michigan. 

On March 3, 2018, Sun Devil Lacrosse takes down Presbyterian, 23-5, at Sun Devil Soccer and Lacrosse Stadium in the first-ever home game in program history. The 23 goals represent the highest single-game total in ASU's inaugural season.

On February 15, 2025, Sun Devil Lacrosse’s 21-1 statement win over Detroit Mercy was one for the record books. The one goal allowed to UDM marked the fewest goals allowed in a game in program history, and the win ties a program-best start to a season at 3-0. 

Sun Devil Soccer has hosted the Mexican National Soccer Team twice, once in 2006 and again in 2008.
