The 10th-placed Grasshoppers face seventh-placed Maldon in a crucial game for both clubs.
With two wins prior to the interleague break, Browne said her side will continue to ride their momentum.
“We expect Maldon to be quite competitive. They are known for being quite fierce on the court,” she said.
“The break came at a good time for us. We were able to focus a bit more on fitness and fun and take a break from the netball side of things.
“Some of the mature bodies in the team are fresh to go after resting up.”
A win could see the Grasshoppers jump into the top eight for the first time this season.
