this line clearly can be interpreted in BOTH ways, so I am a bit confused by people insisting on other people reading it "wrong".

my 5 cents are not to read it in terms of powerlevels but resolve, too: since Yagi took such time to develop Cassy's rather unique character I feel it makes less sense to read it in terms of her abilities or lack thereof but rather as relating to her weird character and relationship to her fellow warriors. Others have already explained how they read the psychological motivation for her action so I won't repeat that. She let them cut her willingly thus it is implied she could have evaded.

But as I said you might as well read powerlevel hints into little lines like this and take out of it she couldn't dodge cause she's that bad. But I feel such is highly unlikely for a #1, no matter if strong or weak #1. #1 will always be high enough above the other single digits to dodge multiple attacks for some time, at least in my book.
