I would recommend that you hang out in this thread:

I found the thread for the 2017 class way too late :(. It was a real wealth of information for kids that are not headed for the nation’s top 25 colleges. My D17 ended up at our flagship school with a low ACT, but it was touch and go. Your D’s athletics is another wrinkle. Is she a good fit to play at the school she really wants to attend? Is she really good? Many coaches have a say in admitting recruits that may not have a GPA or ACT/SAT that would normally get them in.

In any case, you are right to have her extend her search past the one school.
