She helped the team reach the final of the 1993 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament (where they lost to North Carolina), becoming the first black female player to appear in the championship game of the NCAA tournament.[4] She was an NSCAA Second-Team All-American in 1994, and All-Region player in 1993 to 1994. She was included on the NCAA All-Tournament Team in 1993, as well as the All-CAA selection in 1993 (second team) and 1994 (first team). Pearman received the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award in 1993, and was the CAA Player of the Year in 1994. In total, she scored 41 goals and recorded 13 assists for the Patriots, with her tally of career goals ranked fourth in school history.[5]

Pearman made her international debut for the United States on August 6, 1995, in the 1995 Women's U.S. Cup against Norway, with her scoring the winning golden goal. In total, she made nine appearances for the U.S. and scored the one goal, earning her final cap on May 11, 1997, in a friendly match against England.[2]

In club soccer, Pearman played professionally with OKI FC Winds for four years in Japan after finishing at George Mason.[6][7] She later played for the Maryland Pride, before being selected by the New York Power in the 2000 WUSA Draft.
