Johnson and Johnson

Sisters Melissa and Sarah Johnson will add height and depth to the Crimson frontcourt. Winners of a New York state championship in high school, they now hope to bring an Ivy title to Cambridge.

Sarah can attest to that.

"Melissa's very intimidating when she plays," she said. "When she goes out on the floor, she puts on her basketball face."

Two of a Kind?

In more ways than one, Melissa and Sarah are the spitting images of each other. If not for their different hair colors--Melissa has red hair, Sarah is blonde--you might not be able to tell them apart. The two maintain, however, that they actually have very contrasting personalities.

"We look similar, we both play the same sport, and now we're here at the same school," Melissa said. "But Sarah and I are so different."

Melissa would be the A-type, Sarah the B-type.

"I tend to be the more laid back one," Sarah said. "I don't get too bent out of shape about a lot of things. Melissa is more of a perfectionist."

The two have different interests, as well. This past fall, Melissa served as a group leader for the Freshman Outdoor Program. Despite her best attempts to convince her sister to take part in the trip, Sarah would have nothing to do with it.
