I didn't see Kal's possible encroachment in real time at the game, but watching a video second by second, it is not clear to me that the Kal player's foot was down in the box before the ball was kicked; if it was, it was by a few tenths of a second. But what is clear is that the ref was watching the kicker and not that line, so he clearly was not able to make that call if it was a violation. 
I too do not fault Craig for deflecting the ball back across the goal. She had dived across the goal in the right direction but the kick, which was not well aimed, went to her waist and she had to move her hands back down to block it, and was unable to grab it. I think she did well to deflect it across the goal and not back toward the kicker. The fault for the goal, IMO, was our failure to claim the high ground and get there first. Even if the player who scored the goal had instead gotten a late start, the kicker would have beaten our first defender to the ball and scored. We failed to cover.
