A committee last summer finalized five nickname options: Roughriders, North Stars, Fighting Hawks, Nodaks and Sundogs.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UND expects to announce results next week. If any of the proposed nicknames receives more than 50 percent of the votes, it becomes the new moniker. If that doesn\u2019t happen, a runoff vote will be held between the two top vote-getters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update&#8230; \u00a0A judge Monday denied a request from a Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe member and others to block the vote.
