Twins with one thing in common: winning

The competition goes far beyond the basketball court at Brooklyn College for two young women.

Actually, it starts at home for Ericka and Sarah James, senior twins who play basketball for the Bulldogs of Brooklyn College.

The six siblings in the James home — three girls, three boys — provided most of that competition.

“Our parents placed us in sports,” Ericka told the Eagle. “For me it was basketball, that was my best sport.”

The James Madison High School grad has already surpassed the 1,000-point total in her collegiate career and is the leading scorer on this year’s BC team with her 13.7 points-per-game average.

Last season, Ericka played in 23 games averaging 13.8 points and five rebounds. She’s been named a First Team City University of New York All-Star — twice.

She led CUNYAC with 79 three-pointers while also leading in three-point shooting percentage (.362).

And both helped Brooklyn to its first NCAA Tournament win in program history in 2021-22. In winning its second CUNYAC championship; in three years (2019-20), it was Sarah who made six-three-pointers in the final, as the Bulldogs…
