Frey was an all conference Second Team choice and selected to the all-tournament team in 2014 after tying for the club lead in goals (8) and points (18), while ranking second on the squad in shots. The Chester Springs, Pa., native started all 21 matches, amassed 1,763 minutes of field time and four of her goals were game-winners. A communication major, she was also named to the NSCAA Scholar All-South Region Team.
