Bailey: Playing with a twin is like playing with someone who is thinking what you're thinking. I love when Brooke and I get to play together because we see opportunities for the each other that someone else might not see. Transitioning into college with a twin is a huge relief because I automatically go into it with someone who I've known my whole life.
Brooke: I see playing with a twin as an advantage because we both think a lot alike and we always have each other to push one another in practice and workouts. It is relieving to know we are going to the same college because I know I will have someone I know with me until we make new friends.
