Lost a season

I let my laptop go to sleep with the game open, I guess the device restarted or something because the game was closed when I woke it up. I opened OOTP and I’m back to Nov of the previous (2031) season. I was in the divisional round of the 2032 playoffs last night. Never occurred to me that the game doesn’t auto save. Any way to recover or chalk this up to a learning experience?
