If the runner had ample opportunity to avoid the fielder and didn't then it would be up to you to determine if she deliberately caused the contact. This would be hard to determine unless you saw the runner's eyes and movements. Was the runner looking toward the fielder or looking back at the ball? Did the runner make any movement to avoid the fielder, even at the last instance? If and only if I could determine that the runner intentionally ran into the fielder, this would constitute USC to me - an out and an ejection. The only reasons to run the fielder over intentionally would be to try and 'draw' the OBS call or to try and hurt the fielder.
