Freifeld plays a wide midfielder/winger role with San Diego Surf 07 and is one of the team’s main offensive weapons. She typically plays on the right and is very intelligent with her positioning, always getting into spots where she can get on the ball and push it forward immediately, benefiting from her excellent first touch. If she has to beat an opponent off the dribble, that’s not a problem to Freifeld, who has several moves and uses both feet really well to drive the ball. That gives her the ability to either take the ball to the end line or cut inside, making it very difficult for defenders to game plan for her.

Decision-making in the final third is often one of the most overlooked attributes for wingers. Players can have skill, speed, and power, but if they don’t know what to do with the ball at their feet, it’s basically worthless. Freifeld is very high in the California rankings because she is so sharp with the ball at her feet in the final third. She has the skill, speed, and shot too, but the decision-making on when to slip in a teammate or when to get the endline or when to shoot on a cut-in. Freifeld is tough to stop at the club level, and going to be continue to be a winger to watch thanks to those soccer smarts.
