The UB duo knocked off Quinnipiac's Stefano Salvatore and Goldy Sherrill by a score of 8-2. Rockman and Hadisubroto will face Brown's Basu Ratnam and Eric Thomas, who upset the ninth-seed in the tournament, Penn State's Ryan Berger and Brad Hunter in their first round match.

Nikesh Singh Panthlia (George Town, Malaysia/BMK Penang Free School) competed in the tournament's qualifying bracket on Thursday playing a pair of three-set matches. He opened play with a victory over St. Bonaventure's Andrew Hart, 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-3. Singh Panthlia was denied in his shot to make the main draw of the tournament by Stony Brook's Quirjin Van Veen. Singh Panthlia opened the match with a 6-4 win in the opening set, before falling 6-3, 6-3 in the final two sets.
