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.

"Maybe if I could have brought my hair dryer," she said, laughing.

Regardless of their differences, Melissa and Sarah are always united in their cause when it comes to playing basketball. The two say that they feed off each other on the basketball court, and take great satisfaction in each other's successes.

"We definitely motivate each other," said Sarah. "If she scores, then I want to score."

More than simply sisters, they are each other's biggest fans. And growing up, they claim there wasn't really ever a sibling rivalry.

"People ask us that all the time," said Melissa. "But I just tell them that basketball will never be as important to me as my sister. I do feel that she has got such great potential, but I'm not threatened by the fact that I can make her a better player than I am."

Amen to that, sister.
