Her second trip to the world championships proved more successful as her team won the silver medal behind Team Canada. She picked up a second World Championship silver medal in 1999 as the third for Patti Lank's team.

Erika Brown competed at the 2010 US Olympic Trials. She finished fourth in the round robin portion of the tournament. In the 3 vs. 4 playoff she faced her former skip Patti Lank, but lost.

Upon their win at the 2013 United States Women's Curling Championship, Brown and her team were qualified to participate at the 2014 United States Olympic Curling Trials.
