I don't think you are going to find a rule that governs this in NF. However, you could be very creative and call this a travel if you wanted. Here's how. The definition of a pass allows you to roll the ball to a teammate. Rolling the ball to yourself, which is what happens if she pushes it, then runs after it and touches it, could be considered "passing to yourself", which most officials feel is a travel under a very broad interpretation of the travel rule.

OK, OK, I said you would have to be very creative to call this a travel.

Also - remember that there would be no player control during this, but there could very well be team control depending on the status of the ball before it became "loose" and how it became "loose".
