After winless years in 2005-2008, Luna won two events back-to-back in the summer of 2009 for her second and third wins. Those two wins gave Luna a spot on the 2009 Solheim Cup European team.

Luna won the 2011 Unicredit Ladies German Open with a score of 264, 24-under-par. She played all four rounds without any bogies and create a new record for woman in golf history. [1]

At the 2018 Mediterranean Games, Luna won a silver medal in the women's team competition.
