NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Vanderbilt has sanctioned its women's tennis and lacrosse teams after finding members of both teams were involved in separate hazing incidents.
Athletics director David Williams said in a statement Wednesday that hazing is dangerous, violates both university and athletic department policy and will not be tolerated.
Vanderbilt says no one was harmed.
But Williams and Vanderbilt's director of compliance interviewed each member of each team late last week with all but one admitting to taking part. Williams says neither team's coach knew of the events and may punish their players further. Williams also reported the incidents to university officials overseeing student conduct.
The sanctions included missing an event each. The lacrosse team did not attend an exhibition tournament at Navy, while the tennis team missed a preview tournament at Furman.

Tenn. Powerball ticket worth $1 million
May 19, 2013 18:44 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.
Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.
There's no word yet on who won.
A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.
