Alverno College

Date of Induction: April 25, 2026

Ashlie Vojvodich-Rossi completed her standout career with the Inferno in 2018 and ranks among the softball program’s best hitters and pitchers in its 25-year history. As a freshman, she was named to the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) All-Freshman Team, posting a career-best batting average of .383 in 40 games played, while accumulating 49 hits and 31 RBI over 40 games. She was also named Team MVP in 2015 and 2016, while also earning Finlandia Dome All-Tournament honors in 2016.

Ashie’s 156 career hits and 212 career total bases rank third all-time at the time of her induction, trailing only fellow softball Hall of Famers Stef Wilmore and Ashleigh Sagat, while her .364 career batting average ranks seventh. Over her career, she also accumulated a .406 on-base percentage and a .495 slugging percentage, both top 10 marks, while adding 80 RBI’s and 36 doubles, both of which are top five marks in program history.

In the circle, Rossi was a key contributor as well, as she ranks in the top ten of every recorded record. In 72 career appearances and 52 starts, she tallied 20 wins, 34 complete games, seven shutouts, and a 3.98 ERA. Her three shutouts in both 2016 and 2017 still stand as program records for a single season.

A special part of Ashlie's career was being able to play with her sister, Megan Rossi, during her freshman season. This allowed the family to cheer for both of them on the same field, a rare occurrence for siblings three years apart. 

One of Ashlie's favorite memories from softball was during her senior year when they beat Lakeland University in the bottom of the 8^th inning, a team they had rarely beaten in her time at Alverno. Tied at two after seven innings, Lakeland took a 4-2 lead in the top of the eighth, but with two outs in the bottom half of the innings, Ashlie homered to left center, blasting a two-run shot to tie the game. Her close friend Andie Vandertie came up in the next at-bat and walked off the game with a solo homer to left to give the Inferno the win. Alverno would go on to win the next game as well, as Rossi earned the save with two innings of work. 

Where they are now: 

Since graduating from Alverno, Ashlie has been working as a Registered Nurse here in the Milwaukee area. She is currently working at the Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Franklin, WI, as a pre-op and PACU (recovery room) RN and has been there for six years. Her job includes getting patients ready for their elective orthopedic procedures, as well as waking them up in the recovery room and getting them ready and prepared for discharge.
