Stoecker was Washington Freedom's second draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2001 season of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA).[2] She missed part of the 2002 season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[3] In 2003, Stoecker was part of the Freedom team who won the Founders Cup, but when the league subsequently folded she began working for a consultancy firm.[4]
