The defender clearly got to the spot first and could have easily taken a charge if she had chosen to.

A few years ago I had a similar thing.
110# point guard ran into vertical 175# post. Guard went down and lay on the floor.
I called a PC. It was one of those calls where the defender was not disadvantaged [more than 6-8"], but I had a player down, and I felt I needed to call something.
Point guard's Dad started coming down from the stands to talk to me, but he stopped.
In thinking about it, I think I still need to make the same call.
