Frett was named to the team representing the US at the 1994 William Jones Cup competition in Taipei, Taiwan. The USA team won all eight games, winning the gold medal, but not without close calls. In three games the teams had to come from behind to win. One preliminary game ended up as a single point victory, and the gold medal game went to overtime before the USA team beat South Korea by a single point, 90–89. After the ABL folded due to financial difficulties, she was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 1999 WNBA draft, and later played for the Sparks during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. After the 2000 season ended, the Sparks traded Frett to the Sacramento Monarchs in exchange for Latasha Byears. Frett played for the Monarchs for the next three seasons before signing a free agent contract with the Charlotte Sting. However, the Sting waived her halfway through the 2004 season.
