"It is going to be a challenge, but I am really looking forward to it.
This season 's record sees the Lady Braves and the Frankston Blues at one game apiece.
Garrick hoped her team, which finished second on the south conference SEABL ladder, would bring the same intensity it did when they last defeated the Braves.
"In the last three or four weeks, we as a team, have played really well together," she said.
"We have found our style of play and if we can bring that to the court then hopefully we can be successful."
This season, Garrick has averaged 18.7 points a game and six rebounds.
She said she has been happy with what she has been able to achieve.
"It has been the perfect fit for me in coming to Frankston," Garrick said.
"I have been able to do what I have wanted at both ends of the court, so I have really enjoyed my season."
The Lady Braves will face the Frankston Blues at the Bendigo Stadium.
Tip-off is at 7.30pm.
The winner of this match will go through to the conference grand final.
