Pérez del Solar won the 1988 Top Four bronze medal, 1989 South American Championship gold medal in Curitiba, and finished in fifth place in the 1989 FIVB World Cup in Japan. She finished sixth in the 1990 FIVB World Championship in China and won the bronze medal in the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana, silver in the 1991 South American Championship in São Paulo, and finished fifth in the 1991 FIVB World Cup in Japan.
