Don O'Riordan's side have emerged as title contenders this season due to a run of terrific form and Fox has been instrumental in that by taking on a leadership role in a relatively young team.
The Galway native, who previously starred for Castlebar Celtic, insists their form simply comes down to hard work on and off the pitch - something which the entire squad subscribed to in pre-season.
"Before the season started we were aiming to be one of the better teams," said Fox modestly with Galway in a four-way tussle with UCD Waves, Wexford Youths AFC, and Shelbourne Ladies to finish in top spot.
"Last year didn't go as expected for us, but we knew that we were capable of doing well in the League and so we're not shocked that we are in this position because we have worked hard to get here.
"A lot of it comes down to the influence of our strength and conditioning coach, Susie Cunningham, and the gym sessions that all of the girls do. In this League, fitness is so important and we have managed to keep performing in the last 20 minutes of games and that has helped us hugely."
Even though Galway are flying high and confidence is not hard to find within their dressing room, Fox insists that they will stick to the same work ethic that got them close to the summit.
In fact, she is quick to share the plaudits that are starting to come in for the Player of the Month award with her team-mates - without whom she acknowledges nothing can be won.
"I was told (about the award) after the UCD loss, so it gave me a little boost. But I would like to accept it on behalf of the squad and the management," stated Fox.
"We work together as a team and that is what is most important. Every one of the players has bought into what we want to achieve this year and the management have been great for us.
"We have done well but we're looking forward to the remaining games now, particularly against Wexford. People always think of us as the underdogs and that suits us but we'll continue to work hard to keep winning games."
Fox was presented with her Continental Tyres WNL Player of the Month Award by Eddie Ryan, Marketing Director at Advance Pitstop.
