I dunno, she always struck me as a bit of a blood knight. Maybe she's disappointed that after breaking her own limitation on sparking, Cirno is in the process of folding like a cheap suit instead of stepping up to the plate?
Her eyes have varied between blue and green since the beginning of the comic, specifically the battle segment if memory serves. (Blue to begin with, green when she used her first spell, blue when her 'special ability' was activated, green now...)
I wonder if Yuuka's aim is still the same as as suspected? It's a little hard to tell now. I can't tell if she's got her teeth clenched out of guilt or frustration or just because she's pushing herself to get out there and catch her. Hmm...
After the first time her eyes are green, the one time her eyes go back to blue was in a recycled piece of artwork that was originally drawn over a year before the rest of the comic. It's art evolution.
It might just be the obvious here. She only intended to break the ice and win the match. Killing (or seriously maiming at least) Cirno in the process wasn't her goal and not something she is going to accept.
Yuuka obviously did not wanted to hurt Cirno, but apparently did not wanted to make her feel the same way Marisa and Reimu did when they did not fought her seriously either, this was possibly the only logical outcome
It may be that instead of forcing Cirno to become a Youkai, the goal was to prevent it. It's actually rather sad when you think about it. Changing into something that would eventually die.
I blame Mystia for this. If she hadn't fucked up her spellcard, she could have forced Yuuka to waste a spellcard herself. And then they could have won. Silly Mystia.

...You do realize that the plan was to divert Yuuka's attention to form that giant block of ice, right?
She lost that consciousnessAnd fell to the earthAnd the person racing to catch her, hand desperately outstretched That is to say, it was a force that more than used up all her strengthThe glacier drawn out by CirnoAlready surpassed a fairy's mightWas Kazami YuukaBut though it was the greatest work of her life, the Master Spark smashed it apartAnd when it did, it also cut through something that tied it to the consciousness of Cirno, who was just barely able to produce it
