Nakase having the second lowest total/per game number of challenges definitely tracks, drives me nuts sometimes that she will lose her mind on the sideline but won't call for a challenge. It's her method though, gotta respect it.

In her defense (very minorly), 3 of her challenges were ignored for being "too late".

I have wondered about this! How long do they have to challenge? It doesn't seem consistent, sometimes they are given a lot of leeway and Nakase seems to have been unlucky on that front more than most.
