Siobhan Haughey capped off a fine performance in match six of the International Swimming League (ISL) in Hungary, with three more wins on day two to add to the two she notched on day one.

On the final day of action in Budapest, the Hongkonger added the mixed 4x100m freestyle, the 100m free and the 200m free victories to her haul of 400m freestyle and 4x100m free from day one.

Five wins saw Haughey awarded the MVP for the match as her team, Energy Standard, topped the standings in round six of 10.

The Paris-based team held a healthy lead over the Toronto Titans going into day two, but quickly extended that lead with two wins in the opening four races. In total, they claimed 22 wins from the 39 races competed on Sunday and Monday.

The win for Energy Standard was all the more impressive in light of the absence of team captain Sarah Sjostrom. The Swedish star was the MVP of the 2019 ISL season, but is recovering from a back injury.

Haughey claimed the 200m free in an ISL record time of one minute, 51.42 seconds, the fifth quickest time in history.
