With a solid 2000 season on the Ladies European Tour, despite not winning a tournament, Carriedo was selected, as the sixth of seven automatic qualifiers and the first ever Spanish participant to the European team against the United States at the 2000 Solheim Cup at Loch Lomond Golf Club, Scotland.

Carriedo contributed to a European 141⁄2 to 111⁄2 points win with a tie in the second day fourball match with Laura Davies against Meg Mallon and Beth Daniel.

Carriedo finally won by a stroke and continued the 2001 season winning the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.

The pair won their game against Cristie Kerr and Rosie Jones, but Europe lost the match 151⁄2 to 121⁄2.
