Frierson is a native of Vicksburg, Mississippi, and attended Vicksburg High School.[1] She played college basketball for the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters from 1999 to 2004 and was a two-time first-team All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) selection.[2] Frierson missed the entirety of the 2000–01 season after she tore ligaments in her knee.[3] She averaged a career-best 16.2 points per game during her senior season.
Frierson was selected by the Seattle Storm as the 19th overall pick of the 2004 WNBA draft.
