Three rule sets, three different rules/interpretations.
NCAA; once she "Starts moving back down the baseline toward home plate and her dugout", out then.
BLACK
ASA; out when she abandons AND enters dead ball territory. So has not abandoned, until she enters dead ball territory.
WHITE
NFHS; runner out when she abandons OR enters dead ball territory. Your call, your judgment.
GRAY
That said, in YOUR play, any runner is out when tagged off the base when the ball is live regardless what ruleset used.
