The previous two comments have a valid point...if the runner felt she had to slide earlier than normal, you could have an obstruction call.

Absent that, and with the runner coming straight into the plate without changing direction, she would not actually be "impeded" until there is contact with the catcher....if the catcher has the ball at that time, there is nothing to call but out or safe.....
