In 2000 Gerardo played for Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) team Ajax. She was drafted by Washington Freedom ahead of the inaugural 2001 season of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA).[2] In the Freedom's first year, Gerardo scored two goals in 19 appearances (nine starts) as the team slumped to a joint-last placed finish. In 2002 the Freedom performed better. Gerardo posted three goals, starting 10 of her 19 appearances as the team finished the regular season in third place. She also scored a late game-winning goal in the play-off semi-final win over Philadelphia Charge,[3] which qualified the team for Founders Cup II, where they were beaten 3–2 by Carolina Courage.
Early in the 2003 season Gerardo announced her sudden retirement from professional soccer, to accept a coaching position with the Pittsburgh Panthers.[4]
