The teams sitting seventh through 10th in the standings \u2013 Team Iron, Tokyo Frog Kings, DC Trident and New York Breakers \u2013 will battle it out to see who will join the top six in the playoffs in November.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s top two or go home for these four clubs.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage would seem to be with Iron, which finished seventh in the regular season and improved steadily as the season went on. But for the two bottom clubs, DC Trident and New York Breakers, it\u2019s a chance to maybe pull off a surprise. The Trident are looking to avoid missing the playoffs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/as-third-isl-season-wraps-up-power-balance-is-same-as-it-ever-was\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a second straight season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For ISL fans, it is the last chance to get a look at a few of the top swimmers in the league. Tokyo\u2019s <strong>Daiya Seto,<\/strong> New York\u2019s <strong>Abbie Wood<\/strong> and <strong>Brendon Smith<\/strong> and DC Trident\u2019s <strong>Bailey Andison<\/strong> have been some of the top swimmers in the league this season, though all gravitate toward the longer event. How those teams fill the gaps in the shorter distances to counter Iron\u2019s sprint prowess could make a big difference in this match.<\/p>\n<h4>ISL Season 3 standings<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Energy Standard 16<\/li>\n<li>Cali Condors 15<\/li>\n<li>London Roar 13<\/li>\n<li>Toronto Titans 12<\/li>\n<li>LA Current 11<\/li>\n<li>Aqua Centurions 10<\/li>\n<li>Team Iron 8<\/li>\n<li>Tokyo Frog Kings 6<\/li>\n<li>DC Trident 5<\/li>\n<li>NY Breakers 4<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/isl.global\/watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Stream (Subscription only)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2021\/isl-regular-season---match-10-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-1-day-2-energy-standard-out-front-with-tight-race-for-second\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 1: Energy Standard Wins,\u00a0<strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong>\u00a0Moves Toronto to Second<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-2-day-2-cali-condors-look-to-hold-on-to-lead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 2:\u00a0<strong>Coleman Stewart\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0World Record Leads Cali Condors Domination<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-3-sarah-sjostrom-siobhan-haughey-lead-energy-romp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 3:\u00a0<strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong>\u00a0Lead Energy Romp<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-4-day-2-cali-condors-and-la-current-locked-in-tight-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 4:\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>\u00a0Wins Four Events,\u00a0<strong>Kelsi Dahlia<\/strong>\u00a0Takes Two as Cali Condors Pull Away<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-5-day-2-live-recap-toronto-titans-aim-to-keep-lead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 5: Toronto Titans Claim Victory Behind Depth, Skins Win<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-6-day-2-london-roar-look-to-hold-off-caeleb-dressel-less-cali-condors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 6:\u00a0<strong>Duncan Scott<\/strong>,\u00a0London Roar Hold Off\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>-less Cali Condors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-7-day-2-can-the-toronto-titans-stay-in-front-of-cali-condors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 7: Skins Strength Sees Cali Condors Surge Past Toronto Titans<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-8-day-2-london-roar-tracking-down-energy-standard\/\/\">Match 8:\u00a0<strong>Ilya<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Shymanovich<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Sarah<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Sjostrom<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Siobhan<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Haughey<\/strong>\u00a0Help Energy Standard Hold Off London Roar<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-9-day-2-evgeny-rylov-is-mvp-as-dominant-energy-standard-remain-unbeaten\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 9:\u00a0<strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong>\u00a0is MVP as Dominant Energy Standard Remain Unbeaten<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-10-day-2-aqua-centurions-confirm-place-in-eindhoven-play-offs-daiya-seto-is-mvp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Match 10: Aqua Centurions Confirm Place In Eindhoven Play-Offs; Daiya Seto Is MVP<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ISL Match 11 Live Updates:<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 100 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Aly Tetzloff<\/strong> got Tokyo off to a fast start with a time of 56.02, her fastest of the season and the fourth-fastest of the ISL campaign. She needed it to outduel <strong>Svetlana Chimrova<\/strong> of the New York Breakers, who went 2-3 with Chimrova and <strong>Alicja Tchorz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 100 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p>The Breakers get their first win via <strong>Jakub Majerski<\/strong> in 49.98. Second is <strong>Camden Murphy<\/strong> of the Trident with Team Iron\u2019s <strong>Nicholas Santos<\/strong> third. Just 0.82 seconds separated the top seven swimmers, a dynamic that\u2019s likely to play out plenty in ISL Match 6. These teams are largely in this match because of their lack of sprint stars who can cash in on the jackpot, so it\u2019ll be an interesting match to see how they cope without those big bonus points.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>Tokyo is on the board, thanks to <strong>Gabby DeLoof\u2019s<\/strong> time of 2:04.47. She had just enough down the stretch to outlast New York\u2019s <strong>Daryna Zevina<\/strong> by .19 seconds, and she got a bonus with teammate <strong>Paige Madden<\/strong> finishing third. The top six were clustered within .94 seconds. The big shock is <strong>Ingeborg Loyning,<\/strong> who finished eight with a time nearly four seconds slower than her national record.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Jacob Pebley<\/strong> delivers the first jackpot of the day with a time of 1:48.59. That\u2019s the quickest time in ISL this season, it\u2019s DC Trident\u2019s first win and it\u2019s 12 points via the jackpot. <strong>Grigory Tarasevich<\/strong> was a distant second in 1:50.23 with Team Iron getting third and fourth via <strong>Lorenzo Mora<\/strong> and <strong>Robert Glinta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>If this is the last we see of <strong>Abbie Wood<\/strong> this season, it\u2019s been an incredible campaign for the British star. Wood added to her haul with a win in the 200 breast, one the periphery of her wheelhouse, with a time of 2:19.11. It\u2019s a 1-2 with teammate <strong>Molly Renshaw<\/strong> in 2:19.34, 17 big points for the Breakers. <strong>Jenna Strauch<\/strong> of Team Iron was third.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>Had it been a 199-meter breaststroke, <strong>Cody Miller<\/strong> would\u2019ve gotten the win. But in that final meter, <strong>Erik Persson<\/strong> made it 5-for-5 this season, the Swedish star nipping Miller at the wall by .05 seconds. Persson was quickest in 2:02.88 to grab 12 jackpot points for Team Iron. Miller settled for second in 2:02.93 with <strong>Daiya Seto<\/strong> third.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 free relay<\/h4>\n<p>For the first 200 meters, it looked like Team Iron\u2019s race to lose. <strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong> made sure that lose they did.<\/p>\n<p>Hopkin\u2019s split of 51.06 on the third leg surged DC Trident to the win in 3:28.79 to get the win and 24 points via jackpot (and 30 total points with the B team in sixth). Team Iron held on for second in 3:30.38, with <strong>Ranomi Kromowidjojo<\/strong> and <strong>Barbora Seemanova<\/strong> getting them out fast but not fast enough. The Breakers were third, but the advantage goes to Tokyo with a split relay to get fourth and fifth for 18 total points.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>In a wide-open battle, <strong>Ryan Hoffer<\/strong> got his hand to the wall first for DC Trident, with a time of 21.13 seconds. That edged out the presumptive favorite, Team Iron\u2019s <strong>Thom de Boer,<\/strong> by .06 seconds, though Iron minimized the damage with de Boer second and <strong>Marco Orsi<\/strong> fourth. <strong>Stan Pijnenburg<\/strong> was in the middle for the Breakers.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>A little vintage <strong>Ranomi Kromowidjojo<\/strong> is exactly what Team Iron needed. The Dutch sprinter controlled the field start to finish to win in 23.74 seconds and get 10 points. Teammate <strong>Melanie Henique<\/strong> was fourth as Team Iron starts to warm to the match. <strong>Catie DeLoof<\/strong> earned Tokyo Frog Kings big points in second, edging out DC Trident\u2019s <strong>Isabella Hindley<\/strong> by .01.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Andreas Vazaios<\/strong> picked a fine time to drop his best swim of the season, one of several such swims from the DC Trident. Vazaios surged in the final 50, getting his hand to the wall first in 1:51.15. That\u2019s the third-fastest time in ISL this season, .03 behind <strong>Daiya Seto\u2019s<\/strong> best and .01 behind <strong>Caeleb Dressel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vazaios needed it all to get past Seto, who settled for second in 1:51.80. <strong>Leonardo Santos<\/strong> of Team Iron was third.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p>Tokyo Frog Kings needed a boost, and <strong>Yui Ohashi<\/strong> obliged. After tying with <strong>Abbie Wood<\/strong> in their previous duel this season, Ohashi got the better of her IM rival by .08 seconds, a time of 2:04.86 that is the second-fastest time in the league this year. Wood grabbed second, her second top-two finish of the day.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s an Asian record for <strong>Yasuhiro Koseki,<\/strong> who turned in a stellar time of 26.01. The first Japanese record of the season, it trims .01 off the time he\u2019s done twice in his career, in 2018 and 2019. Tokyo got 12 points via the jackpot and added a tie for second with <strong>Alessandro Pinzuti<\/strong> knotting <strong>Kirill Strelnikov<\/strong> in 26.20.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 breaststroke<\/h4>\n<p>A big race, and the biggest jackpot of the day for anyone, produced by <strong>Ida Hulkko,<\/strong> who got to the wall in 29.68 and swept up 15 jackpot points over a relatively week field. Teammate <strong>Jenna Strauch<\/strong> held onto her fourth-place points for five additional points. <strong>Miranda Tucker<\/strong> was second for Tokyo with <strong>Sara Vasey<\/strong> of New York third.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 freestyle relay<\/h4>\n<p>The New York Breakers needed a break, and <strong>Matt Temple<\/strong> obliged, surging ahead in the final leg with a 45.99 to get his hand to the wall first. It\u2019s a time of 3:06.75 to get the Breakers a win and 20 points. DC Trident were the big scorers of the match though, astutely splitting the relay with <strong>Ryan Hoffer<\/strong> on the nominal B team to get second and fourth, which yields 24 points. Tokyo was third.<\/p>\n<p>Team Scores in ISL Match 11<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>DC Trident 169<\/li>\n<li>Tokyo Frog Kings 148.5<\/li>\n<li>Team Iron 137.5<\/li>\n<li>NY Breakers 129<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>Three DeLoofs and a tie: <strong>Ali DeLoof<\/strong> of the DC Trident (in an event where both of her sisters swam for Tokyo) and Team Iron\u2019s <strong>Melanie Henique<\/strong> tied at the wall in 26.32 seconds. Just .18 separated the top four, with <strong>Alicja Tchorz<\/strong> and <strong>Paulina Peda<\/strong> of the Breakers grabbing third and fourth.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 backstroke<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s been a great opening day for DC Trident, which <strong>Mark Nikolaev<\/strong> reinforced with a win in 22.98. It\u2019s the fifth-fastest time in ISL this season. Second was <strong>Robert Glinta<\/strong> of Team Iron in 23.01 with <strong>Takeshi Kawamoto<\/strong> third. DC got points with <strong>Andreas Vazaios<\/strong> in fourth.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Joanna Evans<\/strong> brought the outside smoke to lead DC Trident to a win. It\u2019s a personal-best 4:00.14 for the Bahamian, trimming her national record by nearly two seconds from earlier in the season. DC took home 20 points with <strong>Leah Neale<\/strong> in fourth. <strong>Barbora Seemanova<\/strong> was second for Team Iron, which netted 15 points between her and fifth-place <strong>Veronika Andrusenko. Abbie Wood<\/strong> was third for the NY Breakers, but <strong>Paige Madden\u2019s<\/strong> intermediate points despite finishing sixth meant Tokyo took home 12 points.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>While the others battled out the early sprints, <strong>Brendon Smith<\/strong> lied in wait and owned the final 300, getting his fifth win in the event in 3:37.11. That\u2019s 14 big points for the fourth-place Breakers. Second was Team Iron\u2019s <strong>Luiz Altamir Melo.<\/strong> DC got 17 points from the event, with <strong>Jay Litherland<\/strong> third and <strong>Velimir Stjepanovic<\/strong> finishing fifth but getting early bonus points.<\/p>\n<p>As ISL Match 11 heads to the medley relays, the team scores are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>DC Trident 231<\/li>\n<li>Team Iron 182.5<\/li>\n<li>Tokyo Frog Kings 178.5<\/li>\n<li>NY Breakers 171<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/h4>\n<p>Six-hundredths of a second separated the top three teams at the 300-meter wall. <strong>Ranomi Kromowidjojo<\/strong> separated herself from the field in the final leg.<\/p>\n<p>Kromowidjojo split 50.8 on the end to drag home the relay of <strong>Ingeborg Loyning, Ida Hulkko<\/strong> and <strong>Emilie Beckmann<\/strong> in 3:49.91. DC Trident gave them all they could handle, with <strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong> nearly getting to the wall first but falling .31 short. The Breakers were third. Iron outscores DC by two points on the event, 24-22, for skins control.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/h4>\n<p>Tokyo, with its skins weaknesses, needed a fast finish to Day 1 of ISL Match 11. Their medley relay got the job done, but DC Trident\u2019s depth gives them the skins choice.<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo was first in 3:22.76 (<strong>Grigory Tarasevich, Yasuhiro Koseki, Takeshi Kawamoto<\/strong> and <strong>Nandor Nemeth<\/strong>). But DC kept on the pressure to take second and fourth; with a 24-22 edge in points, DC picks the skins. Team Iron was third and fifth.<\/p>\n<p>After the first day, the team scores are (remember the top two advance to Eindhoven and the playoffs):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>DC Trident 277<\/li>\n<li>Team Iron
