Rule 4.41.3 The try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball.
To me it doesn't look like she starts her shot until after the whistle.

Rule 4-11-2 I think is the clearer reference to these plays:
If an opponent fouls after a player has started a try for goal, he/she is permitted to complete the customary arm movement, and if pivoting or stepping when fouled, may complete the usual foot or body movement in any activity while holding the ball. These privileges are granted only when the usual throwing motion has started before the foul occurs and before the ball is in flight.
As soon as the player ended her dribble, her arm movements and steps tell us she's started her shooting motion. If the contact by 15 is illegal, I would allow the offensive player the customary arm and foot movements involved while holding the ball.
