From what I have read; the water in the yeast will turn to ice and break the cell walls, killing the yeast. If the yeast liquid was glycol however, there is a reduce chance of the ice forming and allowing more of the yeast to live.
In this case, I would recommend a starter since you now have less yeast then when you started.

I love when people provide an answer without reading the question. lol
It'll be fine, thaw it out and use it as you normally would.
