I am trying to translate the following sentence:
彼女は一度も振り返らずに走って行った。
My main difficulty comes from the understanding of meaning of the particle に in this particular context. Does is simply mean "and" here?
I am also not sure about the effect of the particle も on 一度, if it implies any change of its meaning.
I would appreciate if anyone could suggest a translation for this sentence.
By advance, thank you very much for your help.
 
"一度も" used with a negative verb, in this case "振り返らず", means "never" or "not even once".
"振り返らず" is equivalent to ""振り返らない", and the form "-ずに" means "without-".
So the sentence would translate to "she went running without even looking back once".

I hope my explanation was clear, and if there's any mistake please correct me!
 
Yes, this is clear now. Thanks a lot for your help!
