The decision looked questionable as Stevens appeared to be outside the area at the moment he went down.
Dom Carminati and Lloyd Howard both went close to equalising for Saints after the break, but there were few clear chances, and the visitors made off with all three points.
Saints joint manager Jez Hall said: "Even though we lost it was a good performance in a tight game.
"A couple of decisions went against us, and had they gone the other way we'd have had the victory.
"Their penalty was outside the box and wasn't even a foul, and Stefan Lewis was tripped in the box in the lead up to the equaliser."
St Ives resume their league campaign on Saturday with a trip to Desborough - a venue where Saints came away victorious last season.
