Named Brock Badgers Female Athlete of the Year, Friesen, a second-year Psychology major from St. Catharines, furthered the dominant tradition of Brock wrestling this season making a mark in her sophomore campaign on both the provincial and national levels. Rounding into form as the season progressed she earned two silver medals at the Brock Open and Western Invitational, while also capturing gold at the Guelph Open where she knocked off a previous world champion to take the top step on the podium. Then at the OUA championship in Hamilton, Friesen won gold and OUA first team all-star honours in her 56kg weight class, knocking off opponents from Guelph, Western, and McMaster along the way. Friesen was then dominant once again in her 56kg weight class at the U SPORTS championships in Edmonton, earning technical fall wins over Guelph and Alberta, before picking up the pin over Concordia to secure her place in the championship final. Matching up with Calgary, she once again put on a display as she claimed the gold following a spotless 10-0 technical fall victory. The two-time U SPORTS athlete of the week and U SPORTS first team All-Canadian would go on to be named U SPORTS female wrestler of the year for her efforts. In addition, the 2022-23 Brock women's wrestling team captain also scored a bronze at the 2023 Senior National Championship, silver at the 2022 Pan-Am Junior Championship, and placed eighth overall at the 2022 Junior World Championship this year.
