Because it is an NCAA game?

More serious answer... you make note of her position wrt the running lane... the running lane is irrelevant in the situation you describe. It only pertains to interference with the fielder taking the throw at first base. It does not apply to any other action by the defense.

For the BR in the situation you described to be guilty of interference, she would have had to commit an act of interference. Merely running to 1B is not such an act. If she had done something to indicate interference (e.g. sticking out her hand to block the ball, deviating her path to get hit by the ball, etc.), then an interference ruling would have been appropriate.
