He had the collision, knows an ejection is going to follow, made the out call, gave the point with his arm. No need for anything more demonstrative than that.
IMO it was handled very professionally by the PU and the crew.

The conversation regarding when/how she was ejected is exactly why the NCAA manual mandates an actual ejection mechanic. Pointing is NOT that mechanic. The umpire is to hold up his right arm with palm open and forward. Draw the hand back to the ear and redirect the arm skyward at a 45 degree angle away from the body with the index finger extended.
That is not overly demonstrative, but is clear to everyone.
I wasn't sure if she was ejected right away. I thought the crew may have gotten together to discuss it.
That point meant nothing to me.
Use proper mechanics.
