Here are the top 3 stories today in Norfolk:

1. Over the weekend, a multi-vehicle crash temporarily closed the westbound side of I-64 at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. The crash happened on Saturday morning, and Virginia officials had all westbound lanes shut down until about 1:15 p.m. that afternoon as crews cleared the scene. No further information has been released at this time. (WAVY)
2. Fans of Norfolk State University basketball witnessed a historic win for the women's team on Saturday as they defeated Delaware State 102-36 at Echols Hall this weekend. The team's 66-point win was secured thanks to a record-setting 15 3-pointers. It was the largest margin of victory against a MEAC opponent in NSU history. (HBCU Gameday)
3. A Saturday house fire on Wedgefield Avenue sent two residents to the hospital. Norfolk Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched in the early afternoon and found heavy fire and smoke coming from the home.
