Funk stepped up the Heat in more ways than one during the team's weekend series with rival TRU. After a 4-kill, 6 dig performance on Friday night, the fifth-year middle was asked to make the move to outside for Saturday's rematch where she put up a monster performance. Playing out of position for the first time with the Heat, she fired home a team-high 13 kills and 3 aces, while adding nine digs and two blocks for a 17.5 point effort. Her play helped the Heat to nearly knock off the top team in the conference while earning them a crucial point from the five-set setback.
