ISL Playoff Match 4: Led by Duncan Scott and Kyle Chalmers, London Roar Beat Cali Condors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four of the six matches of the ISL playoff round are complete, and in a surprising twist, there have been four different match winners so far. Cali Condors edged Energy Standard in the first match before LA Current used an incredible comeback to take down London Roar in the second. Earlier this week, Energy cruised in the third match, and here, London used an all-around dominant performance to defeat the defending champion Condors for the second occasion this season.<\/p>\n

After day one, London led by 49.5 points, but Cali steadily closed the gap through the middle portion of day two, with\u00a0Hali Flickinger<\/strong>,\u00a0Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>,\u00a0Lilly King<\/strong> and\u00a0Nic Fink<\/strong> among those claiming individual victories before Cali picked up a big win in the mixed 400 medley relay. At one point, the lead was down to just 17 points, but London asserted itself with Sydney Pickrem\u00a0<\/strong>(women’s 400 IM),\u00a0Duncan Scott\u00a0<\/strong>(men’s 400 IM) and\u00a0Minna Atherton\u00a0<\/strong>(women’s backstroke skins) winning three straight events for the Roar.<\/p>\n

Also for London, Olympic star Emma McKeon<\/strong> earned one individual victory on day two, and Kyle Chalmers <\/strong>had first-place results in both the 100 free and 200 free. Scott won MVP honors after he added the 400 IM and a runnerup finish in the 100 IM to his two wins from Saturday (200 IM and 400 free), while LA Current’s\u00a0Ryan Murphy<\/strong> took second in the MVP scoring after he won the 100 back and backstroke skins on the men’s side on Sunday.<\/p>\n
