Give up, run around (within 3 feet either side of line from present positon to plate), retreat to last base, slide (not great idea 5' up line), jump over (in FED only if on ground is it legal) but you can't plow them. I also agree this is a hard play to visualize. If fielder gets ball and steps in basepath and runner pulls up I could see this going either way, depending on timng and chance to react by runner it is a HTBT type of play IMO. I agree with others here if she had time to do something other than what she did and didn't I can agree to rule staying on her feet causing a collosion, and getting an out....but I can also see the F2 catching and turning in her way and her only having time to pull up and boom there is the crash, which I would say is a play on event (as long as all contact appears defensive from runner)
