Early life Fraley was born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana.

College career

Ball State Cardinals As a junior in high school, Fraley verbally committed to Ball State University. She scored twice more on the year, becoming Ball State's joint top goalscorer for 2021, and was named to the Mid-American Conference (MAC) all-freshman team. She won the MAC Offensive Player of the Year award, becoming the first Cardinal to do so in program history. Her 10 goals on the season (9 of which came in conference play) was tied for best in the MAC and made her the sixth player in Ball State history to register double digit goals in one season. Fraley's goalscoring record came from a large volume of attempts, as she led the MAC in both shots and shots on goal.

Purdue Boilermakers Ahead of her senior year of college, Fraley moved back home to Lafayette, enrolling in Purdue University. She appeared in all 18 games for the Boilermakers in 2024, making 12 starts. She also ended up registering one assist as a Boilermaker, coming in a victory against Rutgers on October 17. The following match, she made her first pro start and won a team-high 11 duels in a 1–1 draw with the Tampa Bay Sun. She went on to total 13 appearances for DC as the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second year in a row. In June 2026, Power FC opted to decline Fraley's contract option, releasing her after half a season.
