I think that if she's returning to 1B after overrunning (not rounding—that's a different story) and the ball is in the circle, she can't try for 2B. This would hold regardless of which way she turned. I think this is a fairly new wrinkle to take away the play where the runner is moseying back to 1B and then breaks for 2B, which was legal not that long ago. All this of course presupposes the ball in the circle.

I believe she is committed to 1B if after overrunning she turns right or, if she turns left, makes a move in any direction except toward 2B. I'll check both Fed and ASA when I get home.
