lonelyone... don't beat yourself up over this. I realize that communites are different and have different standards, but from where I sit I can't believe there is such a fuss over this that it should last for more than 10 minutes after the game.
What is making this a big deal is her mother "following up" and calling people about it. If she just dropped it, it might have been forgotten by now. Making a deal of it is her problem, not yours.
As for a resolution, I agree with emily... that might diffuse the situation if you can do it.
