A four-year starter for Central Connecticut from 2002-05, Frisch helped the Blue Devils win the Northeast Conference title and advance to the NCAA College Cup first round in each of her four seasons of play. She was a two-time All-NEC First Team selection in 2002 and 2003, earning NSCAA/adidas All-New England honors in 2003. Frisch was also a Second Team All-Regional selection by SoccerBuzz.com that year. Over the course of her career, Frisch scored 12 goals and added six assists while playing in 70 matches for the Blue Devils. After suffering an ACL tear as a junior, she returned to play in more than 20 matches as a senior and earned an invitation to play in the New England Senior Bowl game.

She played in the New York State Olympic Development Program (ODP) while at Saratoga Springs H.S. and following her career at CCSU, she played for the Adirondack Lynx of the Women's Soccer Premier League. In addition to her college coaching stints, Frisch has worked at the youth level with the Connecticut Football Club, as head coach of the program's Under-14 team (Impact) and assistant coach with the Under-17 team (Wolves).
