1B is one the most important positions specially at 10 and 12U. Routine plays/catches are a must. Coaching error. Not sure how a coach enters a tourney with 9 players.

She’ll call me once she’s back on campus & walking to her apartment after most games.I'm so much like your DD. I am my own toughest critic. I've been rough on myself this season since I've had my own struggles on offense. My defense has been really good. But I've needed time to cool down before I start asking coaches for advice.
I know how everyone says P and C are important and realize 1B is just as important (not sure why it never clicked until know). The thing that gets me is that the plays were pretty routine and told her she never has issues catching the ball when we play catch. Also told her this is why we reiterate the important practice is and not to mess around and that you perform how you practice.

The kind of "catch" you play with her is probably not emphasizing good technique for a 1B. It's a bit different when both the ball and runner are coming at you and you've got to maintain focus and balance while staying on the bag.
Interesting that you mention how she practices. You already see the problem.
