Tech found its stride late in the first half and led most of the way after the break.
The Lobos didn't wilt, though, and battled back to within 73-69 on a 3-pointer by Chad Toppert with 3:34 remaining. Voskuil answered with a 3 and two free throws, only to see Toppert hit another from beyond the arc with 45 seconds left.
But a pair of free throws each by John Roberson and Mike Singletary sealed the win for the Red Raiders.
