Lohman was selected by the Saint Louis Athletica during the 2008 WPS General Draft. Lohman did not want to leave the DC area, however, so Athletica traded Lohman's rights to the Washington Freedom in January 2009.[2] She appeared in seven games with the Freedom during the 2009 season.[7]

In September 2009, Lohman traveled to Japan with Freedom teammate, Rebecca Moros to train with NTV Beleza, a professional team based outside of Tokyo.[7]

As a free agent, Lohman signed to the Philadelphia Independence for the 2010 season. She ended the season with 24 appearances and 5 goals.[8] Lohman was tied as the second-leading goal scorer and started 20 of 24 games.[9]

Lohman returned to the Independence during the 2011 season, making 10 appearances.[8]

During the 2011–2012 off-season, Lohman and her teammate, Lianne Sanderson, joined RCD Espanyol de Barcelona in Spain.[10][11]

After the folding of the WPS in early 2012, Lohman and Sanderson joined D.C. United Women in the W-League for the 2012 season.[12] Lohman played in five games, for a total of 391 minutes.[13]

In February 2012, she and Sanderson joined Boston Breakers in the new National Women's Soccer League. The duo went on loan to Cypriot club Apollon Limassol after the American season had finished, to play in the UEFA Women's Champions League.[14]

In September 2014, Lohman was waived by Breakers and was selected by Washington Spirit for the 2015 season.[15]

International

From 2000–2005, Lohman was a member of the U-21 US national team and served as captain of the squad through 2003–2004.[16] In 2002, she helped lead the team to three Nordic Cup championships, earning MVP honors.[17]

Lohman trained with United States women's national soccer team during the 2004 Olympic Residency Training Camp and has nine caps with the senior team.[18] She made her debut with the senior team in 2000–2001 during the Algarve Cup in a 1–0 defeat to Italy.[19] In 2006, she helped the team defeat Australia 2–0 during the Peace Queen Cup.[20]
