Is there really a FIVE second limit on pitching in NCAA?

If not ... I thought this call was REALLY quick... and if so, I rewound it, and if it WAS 5 seconds, it was 5 from when the batter put her first foot in the box. A gutsy call for a 3-0 pitch - that runner scored. Ended up going extra innings, although Ariz did win eventually.

I saw that called two or three times in games I watched.
