The NIACC women return two players from last year's team in national qualifier Kaitlin Koob and Britne Kingery. Koob placed 86th at the NJCAA national meet.
"Last year was a bit of a struggle with numbers," Frenz said, "but this year I'm really looking forward to how this team is going to compete.
"We'll be a different team in the fall than we will be in the spring because of Bailey and Madison playing volleyball, but I think all of the women will be competing for one of the top five spots. It should be a lot of fun."
Lent, who attended Crestwood, will also play basketball for the Lady Trojans.
"Savannah is a tremendous athlete and has been to the girls state golf tournament the past two years finishing in the top 10 as a junior and wwas 13th overall this year in Class 3A," Frenz said. "Savannah will definitely have success here at NIACC as she has a tremendous work ethic and she has a solid all-around game."
Eckenrod attended Newman Catholic.
"Carlie will be a strong player for us," Frenz said. "She will get the chance to focus on golf as she has been in many different sports in high school. Carlie has won numerous tournaments in her high school career and certainly has a good enough game to compete at this level. She comes from a very good golf family and is very competitive in nature."
Walter was a two-time state qualifier for Atlantic.
"I love getting players from successful teams because they already have the built-in mentality of what it takes to win, not only as an individual but as a team," Frenz said.
Wood attended Rockford High School.
"Madison was also a multi-sport athlete in high school and competed in both golf and track in the spring season," Frenz said. "Madison is a player that I believe has all the tools to be successful at the collegiate level once she gets to focus on golf."
Gates comes to NIACC after being a member of the tradition-rich Clear Lake program.
"Erin had a nice season for the Clear Lake girls team this year," Frenz said. "Erin's game improved this year as a senior and if she continues to put in the time and effort during the off-season, I can only see her game getting better. I think she's just beginning to reach her potential."
