The Del Norte High boys tennis team put an end to Rancho Bernardo’s six-year streak of reaching the San Diego Section championship match.

The second-seeded Nighthawks (20-1) eliminated the seventh-seeded Broncos 12-6 Tuesday in the opening round of the section’s new Open Division tournament, reserved for the top eight teams in the county.

Del Norte advances to host No. 6 Canyon Crest Academy, who nipped No. 3 Westview in a double tiebreaker 9-9 (80-80 games, 7-2), in the semifinals. The other semifinal pits No. 1 Torrey Pines against No. 4 La Jolla.

The championship match is slated for Thursday at Barnes Tennis Center at 1 p.m. The Nighthawks are the defending Division II champions.
