The Bushsows booked a Riverina League netball grand final rematch with the defending premiers by trouncing Temora 73-42 in Saturday's qualifying final.
Having the bye in the last round of the season means the Magpies, winners of the past two premierships, haven't played since August 10. Should they beat CSU and advance directly to the grand final, it would mean they would have played just one game in five weeks in the lead-up.
"It would be nice to get a win, have the week off and be confident going into that grand final," Lowe said.
"They will come in pretty confident too but we've worked really hard through games. We've learned a lot and there's no reason why we can't give them a run for their money.
"I'm sure they've been having practice games to get ready but one game in three weeks, it's not much.
"I feel like if you're playing (continuously) you get that momentum, which is a positive thing in finals."
Lowe said she was played with how her side finished off Saturday's clash against the Kangaroos after the result was well in hand.
"We were consistent for the full four quarters, whereas sometimes we lag a bit towards the end of the game," she said.
