Defense had been the focal point for the Komets coming into Friday night. And the defense was improved, as Fort Wayne defeated the Wheeling Nailers 2-1 in front of an announced crowd of 2,419 at Memorial Coliseum.
“I was pleased from the start of the game, right till the end,” Fort Wayne coach Ben Boudreau said. “Even going back to Thursday’s practice habits, I thought we were committed to our craft, knowing we’d laid an egg (in a 4-3 loss to Wheeling) on Wednesday.”
