Southern has dominated the premier grade to such an extent it has avoided losing this season.
Most weeks, the team has enjoyed large victories, and it has had comfortable wins against University-Albion each time the sides have met.
"There is certainly no complacency," Tasi-Cordtz said.
"Personally, all the girls want to improve all the time. Georgie [Salter, Southern coach] and I thought they might get complacent but there has been none of that. They're competitive as they can be."
University-Albion is at the other end of the spectrum. Its problem will not be too much belief but a lack of it.
Individually, the team is outmatched but coach Noeline Scott said a collective effort could help even the balance.
"It is a final and anything can happen in a final," she said.
"Everyone will need to get in and work together. But we're quite lucky because they are full of talented individuals and it is a great opportunity to match ourselves against them."
Scott was philosophical about the lopsided distribution of talent in club netball in Dunedin.
"You can't make players go where they don't want to go.
Georgie is such an awesome coach I'd probably be pushing my daughter there, too."
While Southern will start as a heavy favourite, University-Albion will look to put some pressure on through Steel midcourter Shannon Francois and former Otago shooter Kirsten Craig. Francois' battle with Gina Crampton promises to be a highlight.
Southern's defensive pairing of Zoe Walker and Storm Purvis form a formidable unit for Craig and Otago under-21 and fellow shooter Kelsi Patterson to overcome.
Steel shooter Te Paea Selby-Rickit and goal attack Kate Shearer have been in good form and will present a stern test for University-Albion's defensive pair of Gemma Cowie and Bryony Wilson.
