So you had no idea who threw the ball...and you wrongly assumed it was a boyfriend. Then...you let a player get away with that act because "she's a female."
And now you wonder about pressing charges?
You really need to adjust your thinking. Your condescending attitude toward women's basketball comes through loud and clear.
I would deal with this within the league...not with outside police/court authority. If the league has no provision in place to punish conduct, then it needs to have one. And this would be a good place to start: an immediate suspension from all league activity for the rest of this season.
If this were a high school game in Massachusetts, the player would be suspended from
all sports activity for one year (not just the sport in which the assault occurred.) If this were a men's league in which I worked, the player would be gone for the season.
