The NCAA interpretation is once an attacker/blocker returns to the floor in a situation like this, they are considered to no longer be playing the ball.

In this case, she has returned to the floor, then contacted the net after that. Therefore, unless you deem the contact to have interfered with play, no violation has occurred.
