Ostrander. “It adds an interesting dynamic to the team.” Though both sets of twins are fraternal and not identical, meaning they can’t necessarily try to confuse opposing defenders trying to cover the team, each of the girls said it has been helpful having someone on the team they have known literally all of their lives. “I can just tell what she’s going to do,” said Jessyka of her sister, “I can tell
