Freisatz's individual first-place finish came during all events competition at the MVCC Hawk Invitational, where she also helped lead the Lady Wildcats to a first-place team finish for the program's first-ever tournament victory. She would also lead SUNYIT to another first-place finish on the season that would ultimately help the team earn its first-ever national ranking, as they finished the year ranked 25th out of 90 schools in Collegebowling.com's Online Ranking System.
