Lemoore High’s Maggie Billingsley, the latest in a long line of the local clan to excel in academics and athletics, is taking her considerable volleyball skills to the Bay Area where she will play for Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California. The happy-go-lucky LHS senior signed a letter-of-intent to attend the university Thursday morning in the District office with friends, teammates, administrators and teachers present.

Her skills on the volleyball court as the team’s go-to setter helped lead the Tigers to several successful campaigns in a row, even leading the Tigers to the Division II championship game in 2012. The Tigers again this year challenged for another West Yosemite League championship.

Billingsley was also the league’s MVP in 2012.

Notre Dame de Namur University is credited with being the fifth oldest university in California, having been founded 160 years ago. NDNU is a fully accredited, private, Catholic, co-educational  university located on the San Francisco Peninsula in Silicon Valley. It currently is home to about 2,000 students from throughout the United States and many foreign countries.

The school offers a variety of programs in the College of Arts and Sciences, Business and Management, and Education and Leadership. It offers 21 undergraduate degrees, 14 Masters programs and a Doctoral degree.

The Argonauts volleyball team is coached by Nicole Annaloro whose team last season went 6-23. The Argonauts play a difficult schedule and travel quite a bit from their home base in the Bay Area to Alaska, Seattle, to Texas A&M.

NDNU is a Division II program and plays in the Pac West Conference.
