Huske has arguably been the most important United States swimmer at the Summer Olympics outside of Katie Ledecky.
Huske finished off Saturday's victory with a 51.88-second leg in the freestyle.
The 21-year-old now has four Olympic medals to her name from Paris. She took gold in the 100-meter butterfly and silver in two other events.
The United States opted to use two male swimmers in the first two legs. Ryan Murphy swam the backstroke and Nic Fink raced the breaststroke leg.
Gretchen Walsh held on to the lead in the butterfly leg and then handed off to Huske to complete the relay victory.
The gold medal was crucial in the United States' battle with Australia in the swimming events. Team USA now has six golds compared to seven from Australia.
The Americans will earn more overall swimming medals than the Aussies, but the gold medal race will come down to Sunday when the final four swimming champions are crowned.
