Aside from dropping the second set, Rye won each frame by nine-plus points, 25-16, 20-25, 25-10, 25-16.
The Garnets (7-2) set the tone by winning the first five points of the match. The second and third sets started with 6-2 deficits, but Rye battled back both times.
In the second set, Rye surged ahead 16-12 before the Pelicans finished on a 13-4 run to win their lone set. In the third, the Garnets scored 15 straight points to dash Pelham’s hopes of winning a second set.
Following Rye’s dominant stretch in the third set, the team opened the fourth and final set with an 8-1 edge.
The Garnets host Horace Greeley on Thursday, then play Saturday at Eastchester.
After losing back-to-back early-season matches to fall to 2-2, Rye has gone on an extended hot streak, losing just three sets total in the past five competitions.
