Are you ruling the play to be a block, because you felt the defender wasn't fully in the path of the ballhandler? It looks to me that she did have both feet down, facing the opponent, before the contact.

Regarding the travel call - I've heard and seen several officials use the travel as a sort of "nuetral" call on such close calls . . . something I find quite distasteful.

Block...defender was moving towards the offensive player all the way to contact making the question about LGP a moot point.

And not even close to a travel.
