Falcó, who won seven ITF doubles titles, represented Mexico at the 1998 Central American and Caribbean Games in Maracaibo, where she earned two silver medals. She played collegiate tennis for the University of Texas.[3]
Between 1998 and 2000 she was a member of the Mexico Fed Cup team. In her debut year she featured primarily in doubles, winning all six of her matches partnering Paola Palencia.
