By NCAA rule set the interference was correct call if you have no intent to throw at runner?

Unless there is something else contradicting this, "intent" is required with a thrown ball:

12.8.5 When she interferes with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball,

interferes with a fielder attempting to throw the ball or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball.

EFFECT—The ball is dead. The batter-runner is awarded first base unless

she is the player in violation. If the official scorer judges the

batted ball would have been a hit, the batter is credited with a

base hit, but if not, it is scored as a fielder’s choice. Each base

runner not forced by the batter-runner must return to the last

base legally touched at the time of the interference.

If the interference, in the umpire’s judgment, is an obvious

attempt to prevent a double play and occurs before the base

runner is put out, the runner being played on shall also be called

out.
