So where do you cross with U3? U3 should be coming inside around 10 o'clock to the circle, watch touch and tag, release. Meanwhile, U1 would be heading toward CF and have a perfect angle for a sinking line drive to LC.

In my first post, I said virtually crossing each other. With a sinking line drive that the center fielder is diving for in left center, she would be going away from 1U and sometimes difficult to get an angle on to see if she traps or catches the ball. Also, there could be a crossing pattern, even though the umps could be 30 - 40 feet away from each other.

Meanwhile, if U3 takes the ball to LC, and if there is a catch and tag-up, U1 is now covering a play into the base U3 just abandoned (assuming NCAA's assignments are similar to ASA's).

NCAA is not similar to ASA. They use the umpire ahead theory. That means that PU would be up to 3B for the play into the bag if R1 tags and goes to 3B.
