2. Ask the player to find a teammate or coach to help her.
3. Blow the whistle to end the game 15 seconds early, tell the kid nice game and slowly walk away.

Stop time. Tie her shoe. Start time again. IMO. : )
Harvey - There is no such thing as stopping time at a soccer game. You could add time at the end of each half ("stoppage time"), but since this was a tournament with games scheduled close together, you cannot add time in this case.
Call the game. The game should have been called earlier with a mercy rule if it was 16-1 in a tournament.
