Sorry, but I haven't gotten a 2001 NCAA rule book, but from the 2000 book:

Rule 12, Section 2 Base Awards.

a. First base. The batter is awarded first base with no liability to be put out:
1. After "ball four."
Effect - The ball is live unless blocked. The batter may advance beyond first base with liability to be put out. If forced. each base runner advances one base with no liability to be put out. If not forced, each base runner may advance with liability to be put out.


Sounds pretty straight forward to me. If the batter-runner is merely advancing to first, and with no intention of interfering with a play, she cannot be put out.
