It could be - I pictured it as the player having no play. Simply back peddling when a ball is shot over her head is not making a play on the ball. If the player was in fact making a play on the ball, that would be INT. That would require there to be a play to be made.
How I read the scenario was there was no play to be made. This seemed more to me to be a hopeless back peddle.
In either case though - a call is needed on this one IMO. Either INT or OBS. I would lean towards OBS on a hopeless back peddle into a runner. Definitely INT if there is a play to be attempted.
