Had to read that a few times to get down to the point. She got the game "second hand"
Any referee (and association) needs to be sensitive to the basics of the issue here.
Our policy is no games where we have direct family relations. Then we are (logically) instructed that if we see or learn we know someone - player - at game time of an "associate" we are to inform both coach's.
if your associate is experienced and can handle a good game this level - disclose in pre-game and call a good fair game. if she's new and stretching into a game a bit challenging for her - might want to "trade" it with someone else.
