ISL Playoff Match 3: Energy Standard Rolls, Toronto Surges for Second<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the way Energy Standard has swim in 2021, it\u2019s not spoiling anything to say that the battle in ISL Playoff Match 3 is mostly for second. The lead of 61 points after Day 1 didn’t seem insurmountable. But given the parade of swims by Sarah Sjostrom, Siobhan Haughey, Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong> and company, it was only a mater of time before Energy Standard pulled away.<\/p>\n

That left an intriguing battle for second. Aqua Centurions appeared to use its sprint and breaststroke depth to take the edge on Day 2. But a Toronto surge that started with the 400 IM and continued into skins did the trick for the Titans, whose Grand Final aspirations hinged on taking home at least second-place points Friday. Aqua Centurions needed to stay out of the basement as they were in the first match, but having third place so close and missing out feels disappointing. In fact, they finish closer to the Trident than to Toronto.<\/p>\n
