Huske's silver follows the Arlington, Virginia, native's gold Sunday night in the 100 butterfly.
Haughey, already the most-decorated Olympian in the former British colony’s history, won bronze in the 200 free earlier this week.
Sjostrom — who just became the oldest gold medalist in the event at 30 — said she almost didn’t compete in the 100 free but that she showed up because her coach insisted.
She added that she had been dreaming about winning gold in the race.
“It’s almost like I’ve seen it somewhere before,” she said, noting that she wanted to see how it played out in real life.
Huske said she's "not necessarily shocked" to have won the silver today even though "semis showed this was anyone's games," she said.
She added that "it's so nice to share these moments with [my family], it makes it so much more special."
Huske doesn't have a plan for the future, but for now, she's going to just keep swimming because she said she loves doing it.
