eye raked and hoodwinked

GV three whistle game. Very intense action when a frontcourt defender gets "eye raked" and goes to the floor. The contact was undetectable, though the reaction certainly was not, and no foul was called. Strangely, the defender was the guard on the ball 25 ft from the basket catching a fluke arm flail by the dribbler. When she went to the floor the dribbler backed away toward the centerline, so I hit the whistle. No coach was beckoned and after about 20 secs she was ready to play. Since no coach was beckoned, we were going to play on from the POI, but the opposing coach insisted she must come out due to the injury stoppage while his team had the ball. We discussed and agreed, but as I think about it now, we might have blown it by making her leave. Can't find a rule to cover our action. Methinks we were hoodwinked. What say ye?
