"Just prior to the ball arriving, the catcher slides over in front of the runner"
In NCAA rules (and OBR) a fielder (including the catcher) is permitted to move if he needs to be there to field the ball. Doing so does not create any rule violation.
" the runner never had an opportunity to avoid the catcher sliding over in front of him. "
No such requirement in NCAA rules.
There is a collision rule but you did not post anything describing the contact so I can't comment on any possible violation of it.
