Freshman volleyball star crowned ‘Queen of Soul’

Freshman volleyball player Dailyn Mann is the new “Queen of Soul” and will reign during Fiesta events and throughout the year.

Mann won the 52nd annual San Antonio “Queen of Soul” scholarship pageant March 14 at the Carver Community Cultural Center.

Mann, a business marketing major from Cibolo, was a middle right-side hitter on the Saints volleyball team. She had 44 kills, 114 total attacks and 15 digs this past season.

She joins King Antonio, Miss Fiesta and Miss San Antonio as a member of Fiesta Royalty. As “Queen of Soul,” Mann will attend Fiesta events, visit schools and advance community efforts.

She succeeds OLLU junior Rebekah Wynn, who served as Queen of Soul the past two years.

The Queen of Soul and her court, which includes the 1st Princess and 2nd Princess, provides representation of the African American community in Fiesta and other activities.
