Turned and got burned...
Everything about the screen was legal (insert dramatic pause hear) until she turned and moved to the basket before contact was made (ok, maybe at exactly the same time but too close to call). Essentially it looks as if she gave up her LGP and hit the defender with her shoulder instead of waiting for the defender to come all the way into her with the contact.
I could be convinced this was a 50/50 call and understand 100% why the ref called.the way he did.
On a side note, I am seeing a lot more players bailing early on charges/screens as if there afraid to take the contact. This results in either a baby flop with minimal contact or a foul on that player. Perhaps kids just aren't tough enough any more to stand in there and take one for the team.
