NCAAW officials, players, and coaches are smart enough to get it right.
For it to be considered a loose ball, the pass would need to have been deflected by the defense or muffed by a teammate.

Rule 4 Section 24. Loose Ball
A loose ball occurs when a player who is holding or dribbling the ball:
1) fumbles it,
2) loses control of the ball when a defensive player bats or deflects it out of his control,
3) releases the ball for a try for a goal,
4) a pass between teammates is deflected by a player even though there is still team control or
5) a pass between teammates is muffed or not caught cleanly.
