"I thought we had the run of the game, particularly in the first half," he said.
"We got in behind them but we just didn't capitalise on our opportunities."
Howard had no hesitation naming goal-keeper Aaron Green as the side's best on ground.
Wallis Lake are slightly down on their 2018 form, where they finished the regular season undefeated to claim the premier's plate.
Howard was hopeful his side would have taken advantage of Lake's change in tactics.
"They've got the same personnel but they have been really vulnerable," Howard said.
"It's a new coach and new style which I thought suited us better because it set us up at the back."
This could have presented Howard with the perfect opportunity to break his hoodoo against the Great Lakes outfit. Howard has never beaten the side in the Premier League.
Wallis Lake hold fourth while the Wildcats sit in seventh.
Port United has a comfortable five point lead at the top of the table, following their 2-0 win against the Rangers.
