The Liberty pair of Clay Cypert and Giancarlo Lemmi battled No.5 seed Richard Wardell and Sebastian Vidal William & Mary in a back-and-forth match, before dropping the match, 8-6.
In singles, Liberty's Cypert fell to Georgia Tech's Ryan Smith, 7-5, 6-4, in a tightly played qualifying contest. Meanwhile, Steyn fell to Alain Michael of Duke in the main draw's opening round, 6-4, 6-2.
