Jonyss is right.  Not much of a fake by Wideman; mostly it's that Machanguana was trying to close on her fast. Wideman squares up but steps out as Machanguana is flying towards her.  Here's the play:

Note that Wideman does get clipped as she moves out of the way of the oncoming defender, and it did force her to shoot without her hips being square to the basket, but it's a stretch to say that she was "flattened".  Though the contact likely affected her shot,  it's something most refs won't call.
