Apostrophe Use

Am I right in thinking that this sentence needs an apostrophe? If so, why is it being flagged up on MS word as an error?

"On arrival, I found out that my lesson coincided with another girl's who had been playing for years"

The problem may be in there; it is an awkward collocation. It needs a comma, at least.
