The Border school takes on Illawarra Sports High in the nation's capital to progress to the semi-finals of the national competition.
Albury High School produced a spirited fightback in the round of 16 at Glen Park last month to defeat Overnewton Anglican Community College 5-3 and reach the quarter-finals.
Ashleigh Carty and Sophie Cary led the charge for the Border outfit with five goals between them.
The tournament started with 400 teams from as far north as Cairns.

Meanwhile, Albury High School's stellar run in the open girls competition was brought to an end by Lambton High School in the semi-finals at Valentine Sports Park in Sydney last week.
The 7-3 scoreline wasn't a true reflection of the contest given the quality shown by the Border side.
Albury High School found themselves down 4-1 at half-time, but came out after the break with plenty of attacking flair.
Lisa Cary finished with a brace, while Ashleigh Carty also got on the board.
The open team made it through to the semi-finals of the Puma Trophy after a hard-fought 1-0 win against Glenmore Park in Sydney at the start of the month.
Lisa Cary was again on target in that game with the only goal in very windy conditions.
Albury High School finished the event ranked equal third in the state.
