Rossetti, a four-year letterwinner at Eastern Connecticut State before completing her degree in history and social sciences, spent her last year as an assistant coach at American International College. There she called pitches, coached first base and oversaw the pitching staff, while working extensively with the team’s hitters and infielders.

Before that, Rossetti spent five seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Bridgeport. She helped lead the team to its first East Coach Conference tournament title during the 2018-19 campaign and its first NCAA tournament appearance in 30 years with a 33-16 record.

That team had six All-ECC players and two NFCA All-New England selections. The squad also recorded the highest grade-point average in both the country and program history with a 3.776 mark.

In her final season at Bridgeport in 2020-21, the team went 23-9 and won both the ECC regular-season and tournament titles with four all-conference picks, the ECC Player and Pitcher of the Year, two NFCA All-New England picks and one CCA honorable mention All-American.

During her time at Bridgeport, she also worked the travel ball circuit as a head coach for the 15U CT Eliminators. Rossetti has also spent time as an instructor for D-Bat Trumbull, Seymour Tradition Softball Teams and Coach Shelton Little League.

Last season at AIC, Rossetti saw the development of an All-NE10 Conference outfielder and an NE10 All-Rookie Team pick.

Rossetti helped lead ECSU to four Little East Conference championships and two tournament championships, earning two bids to the NCAA Division III tournament. She was twice named to the NFCA All-Region first-team roster as a designated player and a first baseman, while also earning three straight first-team All-LEC honors.
