With a WIAC Pitcher of the Year award each season and numerous listings in the league’s records book, Ronessa Stampfli engraved an impressive resume as a member of the UW-Oshkosh softball team from 2005-08.

Stampfli, who also earned one All-America and four All-Great Lakes Region citations, was selected to the WIAC All-Centennial Team in 2012 for a 121-game career that included a 75-27 record with 1,019 strikeouts, 74 complete games, 30 shutouts and a 1.00 ERA in 691.2 innings pitched. Stampfli was named the WIAC’s Pitcher of the Year in 2005 and again in 2007, when she collected NCAA Division III All-America First Team honors. The Brodhead High School graduate was chosen as the WIAC’s Co-Pitcher of the Year in 2006 and 2008.

Stampfli compiled won-lost records of 17-4 (1.01 ERA) in 2005, 20-11 (0.89) in 2006, 19-8 (0.87) in 2007 and 19-4 (1.28) in 2008. She currently ranks first in the WIAC career listings in strikeouts; second in innings pitched, victories and shutouts; third in earned run average; and fifth in complete games. Stampfli struck out 294 batters during the 2006 season to set a WIAC record and struck out 22 batters during a 2007 NCAA postseason win over Coe College (Iowa) to establish a league single-game mark. 

Stampfli helped UW-Oshkosh to a 119-54 overall record during her four seasons, including marks of 36-11 in 2007 and 32-11 in 2008. The Titans won the 2007 WIAC championship while participating in the 2007 and 2008 Division III postseason tournaments.

Stampfli, who enters her ninth year as an elementary art teacher in the Clintonville School District, lives in Hortonville. She also instructs pitching lessons in the Hortonville area.
