The Foxes held a slim four-goal lead before calming down and playing their game midway through the second, settling in and moving the ball around nicely for the 17-10 victory.
Rye would not go down without a fight, however, as Emma Tucci scored two goals helping the Garnets make a modest comeback from a 17-8 deficit.
It was part of the objective after Zweigenhaft called a timeout with nine minutes remaining to regroup her team in an attempt to come back. But it came up short.
Broggy saw Tucci and Molly O'Brien as good athletes who could create problems for the Foxes. They experienced it with Tucci but held on to win it.
Fox Lane was in much need of a victory after previous losses to the John Jay Indians and New Canaan Rams of Connecticut.
Tucci led the Garnets with four goals, while O'Brien scored two.
Lindsay Toppe led the Foxes with six goals. Kailey O'Hagan had five with Sydney Stern scoring three to go along with four assists.
Maddie Kinker had seven saves in the net for Rye.
Jennifer Pollock saved 10 shots for the Foxes.
