The clash of the two unbeaten teams will be the feature of a Southern NSW AFL women's double header at Gumly Oval.
The Bushpigs will take on the Hawks, before Riverina Lions resume their campaign with a clash against Narrandera.
CSU opened their season with a win over Griffith last week, while the Hawks are two from two, after a forfeit and a big win over Narrandera.
Blake is wary of the in-form Hawks.
"They've started off well...and have got some real attacking weapons," Blake said.
"So we're going to have to keep the defensive pressure up, cut their opportunities off, rebound the other way and to put a score on the board and put some pressure back on them."
Kahli Abbott and Chloe Hinde were the stars for CSU last weekend, who will this week welcome back talented midfielder Chayse Holland.
O Week at CSU has ensured plenty of numbers back at training.
"We're really keen. It's O Week this week and we had 20 plus at training last night and it was really good to have the squad back together," Blake said.
"The atmosphere has been really good, getting everyone back together trying to gel again. We've got two or three girls coming back into the side compared to last week, which is nice. The depth will certainly help."
