Wynn added 25 points and had nine in the second quarter as Harlan extended its lead to 32-20 at the break.
Noe finished with 24 points, scoring 10 in the third period as the Lady Dragons built a 53-38 advantage.
The Lady Dragons blew the game opening in the fourth quarter, outscoring Estill 29-13, including 12 of 18 at the free throw line. Owens scored 11 in the quarter while Noe added 10 and Wynn scored eight.
