I suggest that everyone read ASA R/S 33.
This is a classic case of interference, "Verbal Distraction".
The rule is very clear, the offensive player did intend to to impede, hinder, or confuse the defensive player when she yelled I got it.
We as umpires do get to decide what her reasoning was for yell I got it.
DMO.
Or to wait to see if the defensive player has a reaction to the yell or catches the ball.
When she yells, I call it.
