She did not strike, punch, or kick her. She shoved her.

The opponent did not retaliate by fighting, did she? No, she did not, so this isn't applicable either.

What the OP describe is fighting by feds rules. It does not state how severe it must be.

I'm not for keeping a player in the game for an senseless act on their behalf and I wouldn't encourage others to take that same approach when it comes to FIGHTING!!!!!
I don't think so.
