3. A look at the individual players
The 2013 Kutztown Cupids season was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. From rallying from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship, to the heart-wrenching loss in the semifinals, to finally winning the cup in the championship game, it was a season that will be remembered for a long time.
Below is a look at the individual players who made this season so special.
Olivia Reese was a force to be reckoned with in the midfield. She scored 12 goals and added 11 assists, both of which were second in the league. She was also named to the All-League First Team.
Kaitlyn Heffernan was a defensive midfielder who anchored the defense and was named to the All-League Second Team. She scored one goal and added three assists.

4. A look at the team as a whole
The Kutztown Cupids had a great season in 2013. They finished with a record of 25-9 and made it all the way to the playoffs. Even though they lost in the semifinals, they had a great season. They showed that they could compete with the best teams in the league and that they were a force to be reckoned with.
One of the reasons the Cupids had such a successful season was their captain, Emily Ash. She led the team in points and assists and was second in rebounds. She was a big part of Cupid's success and was a key player on the court.
Another important player on the team was Kaitlyn Hannon. She was third in points and assists and was a big part of Cupid's defense. She was always in the right place at the right time and helped keep the other team's stars in check.
The Cupids had a great season, and they are looking forward to even more success in 2014.
5. What are the cupids planning for the future?
The 2013 Kutztown Cupids season came to a close last Saturday night with a 3-1 victory over archrival Allentown Apollo in the Pennsylvania State Cup. The season was a success, as the cupids reached the US Open Cup semi-finals and qualified for the USASA Region II Championship.
Looking back at the season, there were a few things that stood out. First, the cupids had a great deal of success on the road, posting a 7-1-1 record away from Kutztown Stadium. Second, goalkeeper Spencer Proffer had a tremendous season, posting a 0.78 GAA and 7 clean sheets. Third, the cupids had a number of players make significant contributions, including forwards Christian Caligiuri and Ryan Klee, midfielders Ryan Shriver and Travis Clark, and defenders Jeremy Cohen and Kyle Porter.
Looking ahead to the 2014 season, the cupids are planning to continue their success on the road, as well as in the cup competitions. They'll also look to build on the strong season that Spencer Proffer had and continue to create opportunities for other players to showcase their abilities.

The 2013 Kutztown Cupids girl's soccer season was a great one. The team finished with a 13-3-1 record and qualified for the Pennsylvania State Cup playoffs. There they faced off against the top teams from the other districts and regions and came out on top with a convincing 4-1 victory.
The Cupids had a great group of girls who were dedicated to each other and were always willing to work hard for the team. They were also able to create a great atmosphere on and off the field.
We'd like to thank our coaches, parents, and players for their dedication and effort this year. We're looking forward to another great season in 2014.
8. Questions for the future
It's been a little over a month since the end of the 2013 Kutztown Cupid season and with that comes the inevitable questions about what the future may hold for the little league baseball club.
First and foremost, the future of the team is still very much up in the air. With attendance being down this season and rumors swirling that the team may be moving to a new location, the future of the cupids is uncertain.
Even with the uncertain future, the cupids still had a great season. They finished the season with a record of 25-21 and qualified for the playoffs. After losing their first playoff game, the cupids bounced back and won their second game to move on to the district tournament.
The district tournament was a bit of a different story. The cupids were eliminated in the first round. However, the season was still a success and the cupids are looking forward to next season.

10. Kutztown Cupids Forever!
It's been a little over a month since the Kutztown Cupids last played a game together. In that time we've had plenty of time to reflect on our 2013 season and take stock of where things went wrong and where we succeeded.
Looking back, we can definitely see some areas that needed improvement. Our defense was porous at times, and we allowed way too many goals. However, even with our struggles, we were able to make it to the playoffs.
There were a lot of highs and lows this season, but we can't wait to get back on the field and take on the competition in 2014.
We'd like to thank our fans for their support all season long, and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for the Kutztown Cupids.
