Chloe Oldfather and Celia Contreras partnered up for a win in the second doubles spot, while Brianna Koch and Thuy Le picked up the Rams third doubles win on the day.
Contreras was the only Rams to win in singles play besides Cameron in Sunday's match as she defeated Alexandra Shakra 6-1 in a tiebreaker in the fifth position.

The Rams had a 2-1 edge in doubles play, but the Saints 4-2 margin in singles play turned out to be the difference.
