Solo's beating herself over nothing which is not healthy.
It does not make much sense, but I think this is what she is saying:

If she went down she could have recovered, instead of playing on in pain. Also, her team could have caught their breath while she got treatment.

I also suspect refs don't add on exactly the same amount of time as the injury, but some fraction thereof?
